TES-100 Cornerstone: Lifelong Learning Can't be waived.
#1
Unless I am mistaken, there is no waiving this course at this point. I was hoping to save $300.00. Oh well.

Response from TESU Academic Advising:
"TES-100 is a degree requirement and it will not be waived if you pay the $2,000 Residency Waiver Fee. Even if all other degree requirements are satisfied by approved transfer courses/exams, TES-100 is still required."

In the past, you could waive it by transferring in 104 credits (and was done automatically). So, unless this has explicitly changed, AA is wrong again.

I see you've taken courses at Study.com. Have them apply the partnership pricing, which includes waiving the cornerstone.

Study.com works I just talked to them on the phone about it earlier. Also I got mine waived from having 104 credits back in November.

So you need to be an active member and take a TECEP during your active membership to waive it? Or can you have it waived without enrolling?
We are all on the same side here, trying to better our lives....so let's get along and help each other out. 

Learn a trade. Gain technical skills. Make money, then use this money to get a degree...if you have the desire. 


#7
No need to take a TECEP - they waive it regardless just by requesting the affiliate membership be added to your application. My request was completed within about 48 hours and the updated evaluation was finished even before that. It showed the cornerstone waived without 104 credits being completed.

i was just auto enrolled in this course. I don't have 104 credits to transfer in yet. Do you at least get gpa points for this course?
TESU March 2020 Graduation
--ASNSM Mathematics
--BSBA Accounting 
--BA Computer Science

University of Alaska Fairbanks (December 2021 Graduation Goal)
--MBA (2/10 : 4.0)


I started this journey in the summer of 2016.  I hoped to be done sooner, but I am still proud of the rate at which I have gotten my schooling done with respect to the many months of military training and deployments I have undergone.

You have to be an actively enrolled student for them to waive it. So yes, apply, using the study.com affiliate, then enroll in a TECEP.
