TESU Inactive Status?

[eriehiker]

I graduate this weekend from TESU and my account now says "inactive" as of tomorrow.  I do still have a human resources certificate listed on my academic evaluation list.  I took a TECEP in March.  Is this a problem if I want to transfer more courses into TESU?

It might be. For a non-degree enrolled student you have to take at least 50% of the certificate credits at TESU. That rule doesn't apply if you're earning a degree. By graduating before you finish the certificate, you may have made yourself subject to that rule.

Oh, I understand that. I don't intend to finish the certificate. I just was curious if everybody goes inactive following graduation.

Ah. Yes, everyone goes inactive after graduation. I stayed active until my enrollment ran out by having an associate's degree on my account that I didn't finish. You could try to add one, but it's probably too late. If you need to transfer more courses in to get on your transcript, you either need to reapply for another degree (I think it's free), then get enrolled with a TECEP, or pay the $300 for an Individual Learning Account.
