Hello everyone! I'm new on the site and just completed my BA in Criminal Justice at TESC. I wish I searched around and found this site earlier, so much great information.

I looked up Saylor.org and looks like it would cost me about $3,000 (I'm an NJ resident) for that ASBA. Honestly, I'm tired of the TESC enrollment fee!!! They left a bad taste in my mouth for graduation, which is costing me $699 for enrollment and graduation. Plus the transcripts another $10 a pop!
Sanatone that $1,300 price tag looks way better. I have never taken a credit by exam, TECEP, ALEKS, or CLEP. I will save a lot of time and money since I only need 12 versus 20 courses.

I accidentally posted the same post twice. How do I delete or if I can delete?

The plan that Saylor posted was the open course option that was created by TESC. TESC created it with the Enrolled Options Plan in mind. I don't think they are going to openly advertise that you can just take 4 TECEPs or complete 12 credits of PLAs and be able to avoid the enrollment fee under the Per Credit Tuition Plan.

Kaplan not only has open course for the PLA courses, but also for English Comp I and II.
I can't figure this out: Would you save money in the long run by doing that, since you would need to find two more TECEPs?
Oh yes, I think so!
Diversity
World History 1600 to present TECEP
Ethics or Diversity Alternative
Psychology of Women TECEP.

Their other Open Learning courses aren't ACE-approved. So, the question is will you receive college credits from Kaplan for those English Comp courses?

How can you tell whether an open learning course is ACE-Approved?

So if I take four / 12 credits using the pay by credit tuition, I don't have to pay the enrollment fee? Then I just have to take the four TECEP's and eight other courses between Saylor, CLEP, ALEKS and TEEX?
