TESU - midnite123 - 06-29-2022
Hi,
When you are admitted to TESU,
can you take online classes at any RA college,
and have them accepted as credit?
Does getting financial aid from filling out the FASFA,
have any restrictions on this?
I am not asking if I can complete a whole degree this way.
For example,
can I take 4 classes from 4 different colleges in the same semester?
Thank You!

Yes, you can take classes at any RA college or university and transfer them to TESU. They need to be degree requirements for them to be useful. They need to be at least 100-level (for instance, not something like MAT-050 Developmental Math).
If you are eligible for the FAFSA, you are NOT allowed to apply for FAFSA at more than one college or university. If you are able to self-fund some of the classes, I believe that is okay but I could be wrong.
Share the class(es) that you're thinking about taking and we can tell you if they'll apply to the TESU degree that you want or if there are better options.

There are a few things you need to know, 1) You can take courses anywhere as long as you're admitted at the institution and they allow you to take concurrent courses elsewhere. Some institutions will ask if you're taking courses elsewhere and may restrict concurrent studies. You need to tell them you're not taking the courses for their degree, but to transfer out or they would think you're trying to earn two degrees with the same courses. Example is COSC: Undergraduate Concurrent Degree Policy | Official Catalog | Charter Oak State College
2) Financial aid is an iffy subject due to many variables, it all depends on your budget, eligibility and the financial resources you have access to. There is a limit for each person to borrow and it depends on what those "info" you provide them is, you'll be in a "level" system, where you will get a certain amount for FinAid. You should read their requirements: Home | Federal Student Aid
3) You can take as many courses as you can handle in any semester if the college doesn't limit you, some only allow 6 credits in the Summer semester for example. You can do so if you have the energy, money, time to take the courses. I would highly recommend having a game plan for what you're trying to do. It's going to be confusing with different classes, let alone taking them from different schools...
TESU -----ACE/NCCRS credits - midnite123 - 09-19-2022
Hi,
Will TESU accept any ACE or NCCRS credits up to 90 credits?
That sounds pretty good!
Are there some real cheap and easy credits,
that anyone knows of??
RE: TESU -----ACE/NCCRS credits - rachel83az - 09-20-2022
TESU doesn't accept ALL ACE/NCCRS credits, but they do broadly accept most of them.

Just in case, you want to keep your options open as well, like be open to another degree or university altogether. I suggest going with the main providers we recommend here so they'll also transfer into Excelsior, UMPI or whatever institution is on your mind. Examples from ACE are Sophia.org and Study.com, you can review their equivalency charts and plans here:
