TECEP and transfer limit
#1
Will be contacting TECU personally about some questions, but figured would see if y’all had any feedback too.

I’m racing to max out the transfer policy at TESU and transfer in 90 ACE approved credits (CLEP, DSST, SDC, and SL) and graduate by Dec 2019. But my question is about TECEPs relationship with the transfer limit? Do they fall under the 90 credit limit or could I take TECEPs for some of the 30 credits to complete at TESU?

Here’s to hoping the latter!

Thanks in advance, y’all!

I am not sure exactly how TECEPs play into the transfer limit relationship, but I believe you are misunderstanding the limit a little bit. Someone, please correct me if I am wrong, but I think they allow up to 90 credits per credit source. Basically, you can bring up to 90 credits from SL then bring more from SDC. I believe that only classes that you can not transfer into TESU are the cornerstone and capstone classes so the max number of transfers for many degrees would be 114.

ztkerls is correct, it's 90cr per source. You can have 90 cr from one college, 90 credit from another, 90 from study.com, 90 from straighterline, etc and they would all transfer (well, they could... except there are no degree programs where you would actually need that much credit so most of it would go to waste Wink ).

Additionally, TECEPs are not considered transfer credit.

Yeah, I think you're confused about the 90cr limit, which doesn't exist for all of ACE - it's 90cr per source. So once you take 90cr from somewhere (like Study.com or Straighterline, as the 2 places people bring in the most number of credits from and have this problem), the remaining courses need to be from a different ACE-approved provider.

Also, there is an 80cr limit on total credits coming from CC's (so all CC credit put together, unlike ACE).

So feel free to take 114+ credits from ACE/NCCRS providers, as long as 90 only come from a specific provider.

Also, the 90 credits from a single-provider rule does not apply to CLEP or DSST. You can do as many of those as you wish.

For TESU, do TECEPs meet residency requirements?  I know it's not mandatory for most degrees to take courses in residence at TESU.  I'm curious for my own personal knowledge.  

Thanks!

They only meet the residency requirement to avoid the residency waiver if you're in the military.

This is what the Residency Waiver is for.  You're paying $2200/2500 for not taking any courses at TESU (except the capstone and cornerstone).

BTW, in previous catalogs (2015 and prior I think), TECEP's did count for residency - so if you've looked at some older posts, this is what they're referring to.  It is no longer available.
