A residency waiver is certainly better than having to take 30 credits from the college as most other schools require.

Most people on this forum will just transfer in 114 credits and pay the residency waiver fee since that is the fastest way to do it. You can save a little money by doing the full-time tuition and taking 5 or 6 courses with TESU directly, but it will take a lot longer since most TESU courses are traditional length (15-weeks). Getting through those 5-6 courses will take at least 2-3 terms unless you have a lot of free time on your hands.

Nothing should have changed in what courses or providers TESU accepts. The only difference is you now need to get your non-direct ACE credits on Acclaim badges instead of using an ACE transcript.

I'm sorry to ask, but I'm not aware of what Acclaim badges are, and what courses need the badge instead of an ACE transcript? I thought ACE transcripts on their registry is still the way to go... Can you point me in the right direction? Thanks so much

read through this current thread on the forum for basics of that.   Right now we know just enough to know a little. The final change over is still in progress

Just a quick note - TESU courses are 12 weeks, not 15.  So getting through a bunch in 1 term is actually HARDER - it's like taking 5 semester length courses (which is a full load) in a quarter (which you generally take 3-4 quarter-length courses).

Ahh, I wasn't 100% sure of that. I knew they were longer than 8 weeks but couldn't remember for sure. But yeah, you need to do 15-weeks of work in 12-weeks if they are 12-week courses.
