Per Credit Tuition or Comprehensive plan for testing out - xdrelx - 12-26-2016
Which of the two plans are best fit for testing out with minimum courses taken at Thomas Edison State University? Also does both plans require the $2000 residency waiver? The $2000 fee isn't a problem to pay, I just want to get my degree the easiest quickest way possible.Transferring credits into TESU is where I lack knowledge, I don't know where or how to bank all the credits I obtain from the exams either. Or do I enroll and start taking exams, I'm preparing for my first exam which I'm taking next month. Thanks for reading.

Its better to go partime with the per credit tuition with 6 credit and try to test out at least one to two classes a month. The comprehensive tuition is for those taking full time classes and it will cost you more money and take you longer to finish if you dont test out.

TESU's Comprehensive plan is something like $9000 and includes up to 36cr for 1 year. It's a lot to pay, and you can get your entire degree for a lot less than that using the test-out method outlined here: http://www.degreeforum.net/general-education-testing-discussion/27065-beginners-guide-getting-cheap-fast-college.html
The residency waiver is not required for the Comprehensive plan, only for the Per-Credit plan.
