TESU Reducing Credit Hour Residency Requirements from 16 to 15.

Here's the Flat Rate tuition thread I mentioned that LevelUP created: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...-now-4-299

Why are you people always saying TESU only requires the cornerstone and capstone's as residency when it requires 15 credits?

You can pay a residency waiver fee of around $3400 to avoid taking more than two classes for a degree.

It is also in doubt of possibility  to complete 30 credits in a year, as some YouTube videos show,  at UMPI YourPace courses without being teachers pet because competency courses do not open immediately if they are like Walden Tempo Learning. If you finish on Friday it will be at least Monday before the grade appears. That doesn't mean you Master the class but might mean you were satisfactory. If you pass them that's it, no retake for the Master grade at Walden Tempo Learning. But there is lag between finishing competency course, grading, and opening the next courses. UMPI seems especially caution-able due to their work being a sort of group activity, isn't it? I would like more indepth real time information of this year's policies. I have paid for transcripts to UMPI, TESU, and SNHU, and Excelsior U, and U of the Cumberland. I find all them lag in feedback. If one day of work equates to a week of classwork not counting reading all the material and whooping out an essay each week then that leaves completing 30 credits in one year our if reach of adult learners unless they already know how the coursework is laid out. Can anyone show how UMPI lays out its coursework in MyPace and likewise show how TESU and COSC makes it possible to breeze through without residency requirements?

You can pay the residency waiver fee, or take the flat rate tuition by doing e-packs along with the capstone/cornerstone. E-Packs are final exams, it's a hit or miss, depending on the student. In order to see how things are laid out, it's best to review the posts, threads, and most importantly, the WIKI for each institution. There are degree plans for TESU, UMPI, SNHU etc.

A year is a long time. Generally, most people can complete a college degree in 6–12 months if they study 20–30 hours per week.

This is possible for colleges such as TESU, WGU, PUG, TAMUC and UMPI.

For non-CBE colleges like SNHU, LU, and UMGC, it would take about 8–10 months to finish after transferring the maximum 90 credits.

Yes... For CBE options, we've had people complete over 30 credits in a term at WGU, 30 credits in a couple of sessions at UMPI...
