Which of the big 3 are cheapest if you have all credits required to graduate already?

They said that TESU requires 16 credit hours to be completed with them in order to graduate. The fixed-term price seems the best choice for that, but I will check with Amazon to see how that works with them. She had mentioned on the phone earlier that they offer a discounted undergraduate rate for Amazon employees. I looked on their site and it's only $350 per credit hour, which is $5600.

One thing I noticed is a "residency waiver fee" of $3288 on their website. It says if you do less than 16 credit hours with them then you pay that. https://www.tesu.edu/amazon/costs-tuition

Has anyone done that? That would be way cheaper. If I could transfer in all credit hours then it'll save me a few thousand, although I'll have to come up with that all at once.

TLDR; I didn't go back through every post, but I'll attempt to answer this anyway.

You either need 16cr of courses through TESU (residency) OR you can pay the residency waiver instead.  That way is usually more expensive, but may be worth it for some.

You have to take the cornerstone and capstone at TESU (or transfer in the cornerstone from edX if possible).  So if you're paying $350/cr, that would be $2100 + $3288 for the RW + $298 for the graduation fee, for a total of $5686.

The other option is the FT/FR of $4778, but then you'd have to take 16cr that term (cornerstone, capstone, a 1cr course like PLA-100, and then 3 additional courses of your choice, and those can be e-Pack courses if you want).

The "fastest" option is...both/neither, because it's all done in a single term either way if you want.  The cheapest is FT/FR.  The easiest would be taking the 6cr there and paying the RW.
