creditmonsoon Wrote:Almost at that "magic" number  That was the Penn Foster course that I took months ago. I enrolled right before the deadline after I received approval from the TESC registrar. I took a shot because $300 is a lot of money for me and I'm glad it paid off. I don't think the TECEP 's hard, though. At least you don't have to take a whole class.
To me Penn Foster's Strategic Management course seems to be way easier than the TECEP. It just looks intimidating at first with the 4 multiple choice exams, 4 discussion posts, 3 webinars, and final project, but it's not.
- All 4 multiple choice exams are open book and you can take them twice.
- You don't really have to do anything in the webinars. It's just participation grade.
- The 4 discussion board posts are just participation grade as well, and just a few sentences is all you need to write.
- The final project? It can be completed in a few hours. You can just type up all the questions and answer in 3-5 sentences, do a SWOT analysis of Southwest Airlines, and still pass (as long as you use citations, follow proper format, proper grammar/spelling, etc.).
All in all it was a very easy course. I'm not surprised it's no longer accepted for the capstone requirement.

You get two evaluations with unlimited transcripts before enrollment. You've burned one already.
After TESU receives a transcript subsequent to the first eval, you have around 25 business days to turn in anything else before you burn your last evaluation. After that, no more transfer evals until after you enroll. Since money is an issue, it's probably fine you wait until after the 2nd eval. You can't get a 3rd eval without enrolling, so it's time to enroll after the 2nd eval regardless of you reaching 104 or not.

Should I enroll in the comprehensive plan or the per credit tuition program? I read something to the effect of the comprehensive plan being a sort of "fast track" over the finish line while the ladder would be more work required. I rather just get this thing over with ASAP!

The comprehensive tuition is for taking actual courses at TESU and costs $6350 per year for NJ residents. The per credit tuition plan charges per credit and includes TECEPs, which cost $114 for 3 credits. If you enroll under the comprehensive tuition plan but don't take any classes you would still have to pay the $2000 residency waiver fee. I don't think the comprehensive tuition plan would be much quicker then the per credit tuition plan but much more expensive. For the per credit tuition plan you register for a TECEP for a particular semester and 10 days into the semester become an enrolled student and the TECEP can be taken any time during the semester.

Or register for the $300 cornerstone. You can try going into online student services and selecting the per credit tuition plan to see what will happen but you might still be required to register for a course or TECEP.

You are automatically in enrolled status after paying the $6350, but you can't get financial aid without taking some classes. The easiest and least time consuming non-test method is probably either the cornerstone course or the 1-credit PLA course.
The math credits on your eval would suggest that the Applied Liberal Arts Math TECEP is a guaranteed pass with no study. Just passing intermediate algebra is more than sufficient for going into the exam cold.

OP got credit for the PF strategic management course. OP needs to pass a TECEP or a TESU course to graduate or pay $6350 (not 100% sure if you can graduate with zero courses on the comprehensive plan but I think the answer is yes).
