Ok, new question - tsimmns - 06-16-2015
With all the writing assignments from TESC, I wonder if I can switch to the Enrolled Option, take all my classes elsewhere and then get the diploma from TESC. I am currently under the Military Degree Completion Program, but have yet to register for any classes. Since I would be paying out of pocket up from anyway and since I don't need many classes I wonder is this is doable. A lot of classes I see from LSU Independent Learning do not appear to have these writing requirements. Sorry for all the questions, however I'm just looking for the best way to finish a degree.

Yes. You can actually stay under the MDCP, and keep transferring outside courses in (B&M, online, clep/dsst, etc). Once you're ready to graduate, you can switch to enrolled and do your capstone (if your degree plan requires a capstone). I did this myself.
This way, you only need to pay the enrollment fee once. And as military, you are treated as a NJ resident which means your enrollment fee is $1800, which is do-able. But if you are using your GI Bill, check with TESC and the VA on how they re-imburse outside courses, BEFORE you enroll in these courses.

Thanks again Prolko. I thought I read somewhere where someone said you couldn't do this any longer or that TESC banned this option. Basically, this allows someone to graduate from there with 0 credits earned at the college I assume?
