Usually, the biggest changes happen on July 1st. This is why it is better to hurry and finish rather than wait around for the next shoe to drop.

Funny, literally yesterday my advisor at TESU recommended study.com. Anyhow.
Signed up for two courses with study.com that will be a priority to get at least one finished in next two weeks and sent to TESU to lock in discount.
Given a corner stone and touchstone that must be done at TESU, it's at least a $650 or so savings to be on the study.com discount taking a month of study.com into account.
Well dang, as i have now a Purdue class, two study.com and am already knee deep in sophia..
Oh well, must harvest when it is time to harvest, and obviously, it is time to harvest. I have been getting up two hours early to work on courses, now it shall be three.. LOL

Wait so if we already have this we still get the rate for classes.
Or is it if we sign up for TESU courses after July 1 even if we already have the partnership we have to pay the new rate?

"Effective July 1, 2020, new students will no longer be accepted into the Study.com partnership with the tuition reduction benefit. All Study.com students who apply by June 30, 2020, will continue to receive the partnership's tuition reduction, providing their student accounts remain current as per University policies."
Looks like you can lock in for the discount for some time to me.

I lucked out big time!! I'm the catalog without SOS-110 and I have the study.com discount in place.
I was enrolled at TESU, then I changed schools and was about to graduate there. Then with COVID, CLEP centers closed, and other ridiculous life circumstances I found out I might not to be able to finish my degree at that school.
Six months ago, I debated in taking a TECEP to re-enroll. I ended up taking an UL TECEP which I later found out didn't transfer to my school, but it didn't matter because I failed it. I wasn't sure if that was a waste of money or not. But I'm so glad if I go to TESU, I'm saying a lot of money vs if I re-enrolled now.
I did to screw myself over though. At one point I had a BA and BSBA on my eval. After reading posts, somehow I got convinced to take off the BA and just focus on one degree. Then weeks later, I decided to add it back on again because why not, but now the BA requires SOS-110. So now if I want a degree, my BSBA has no SOS-110, but my BA does. The stupid part is that if I had asked to re-add the BA literally just 2 days earlier then both degrees would have been in the same catalog. ugh!! I tried petitioning to the dean but no luck. So now I have two degrees with two different catalogs.
Lock in your catalog people!! And don't screw yourself over. I still might not even earn a degree from TESU, but I'm soooo glad I locked everything in.

They sure are acting increasingly like a for-profit every other year... sheesh.

Practically every school I know raises tuition annually, and adds fees. And that's mainly state schools, which are definitely not for-profits.

I think it's a bit optimistic to assume EC doesn't sooner or later follow suit, but I hope you're right.

If anyone needs a discount on study.com , just shoot me a PM with a email address and I'll send you the discount link.

Quick question: Does the Study.com discount affect TESU's Flat Rate Tuition? Or just the Per Credit Tuition?
