TESU Residency Fee Waiver Increase for 2019/2020
#21
You can use financial aid for whatever you want (including the residency waiver) as long as you qualify for it, as any excess money above your tuition costs gets sent to you. The problem is most people here aren't taking enough credits to qualify, and the Pell isn't going to cover full tuition at TESU, so you'd be going into debt to do that

Other people did it last year, you'd better call tomorrow and see about doing that!

I was able to pay the residency waiver this morning. Thanks to this board for saving my bottom Smile I didn't get any communication from TESU about the fee increase and would have ended up having to pay the $2800. I'm glad I'm just about done with my BACS, no more surprises hopefully.

The residency waiver was a stupid idea. They should have just kept the enrollment fee.

Application Fee 50
Graduation Fee 298
At least 16 credits including SOS-110 and capstone in one term: 3963
One month of Study.com and two exams: 200

Do we know if the flat rate tuition is only $3963 for Study.com students? i.e. Will the Study.com discount remain? Their normal out-of-state is $4,928.

And will the capstone (and SOS-110) price go up?

Regardless it is now cheaper to take 16 redits in one term at TESU than it is to transfer in 114 credits abd take only two courses.

Yes!! That's so right.  Thank you TESU for giving us this as an option, but I would have also liked the comprehensive tuition plan as well... Anyways... I am going to take all 16 credits in one term if it doesn't kill me... but I chose the most interesting ones!

Exactly 16 credits and it'll give me the lab courses that I am missing, I have the course but not the labs...  I looked at the course contents, all of them seem pretty straight forward, the one that may be insane would be the Capstone, but I'll mold it from the TWO CIS/COS courses.

I don't think they would allow you to take the Capstone for Biology with 7 missing credits, but you could possibly be allowed with 6 missing CompSci credits.

I wish they had more courses I was interested in.

Yeah that's the problem. It might be hard to do 16 credits in one term. TESU might not let you register for the capstone with so much of the AOS not done. Plus, anyone doing it this way better have everything else done and evaluated before the term with 16 credits or they probably couldn't get the capstone unlocked. And some majors it would be hard to do so many AOS courses at once if they are sequential. And all of the credits you want to take have to be available for taking for that term. And of course there's the fact of the time commitment and stress that comes with 16 credits. I agree the comprehensive plan would be easier. The whole one term thing makes it difficult. Depending on the person they might be better off just paying the waiver. I guess it depends how much money you've got.

16 credits is a LOT on TESU's system. It might not sound like a lot, because 15 is a normal credit load at a normal school, but TESU has a mismatch between their credit hour system and their term length. They use quarter length terms, so if you convert the credits to quarter hours you get 24. When I wanted to do 25 quarter credits at a CC, I had to beg and plead and meet with three different administrators to get permission, each step of the way providing documentation that I was of well above-average academic ability. They were still hesitant to approve it. I did pull it off, with a 4.0 no less, but that was without working.

Long story short: 16 credits in a term is going to be too much for most people, especially when the Capstone is one of them.
