My wife was 19 when she enrolled at TESC (she was 20 when she actually graduated). I didn't even know they had such a policy until she attempted to enroll. At first, we met a real brick wall, but after multiple conversations with high up people at TESC I stumblled upon the material point: the ability to do college work like an adult. I at some point mentioned that she *already* had more than 60 credits (about 8 at a community college and the rest via CLEP and DSSTs). When I said that, it was like a magic wand had been waved: their tune changed entirely and they waived the age requirement almost immediately. Your mileage may vary, of course, and that was three years ago, but that was what worked for us.

Good luck to you.

Edit: She was actually 18 when she enrolled and 19 when she graduated.

Yes they do. Where did you hear that?

I have already emailed you this, but I will post it here for anyone else who wants to know.

I am 16 and I applied to TESC when I had 87 credits. The more credits you have the most likely you are to be accepted. I would try to apply a month before the deadline to sign up for your first class. The deadline snuck up on me, but I barely made it. They accepted me about two weeks after I wrote my appeal. In my appeal I included my age, credits, and GPA for the online courses I took. I explained why I wanted to go through TESC and why I was a good canidate. My appeal wasn't long. Only half a page.
