Saharapost - I had a feeling the test would be easy. Thanks for the feedback!

If taking the test so late in the process, I would highly recommend using the online testing method and complete the TECEP exam by the 3rd week of July. The day you take the exam, I would email the TECEP coordinator to let him/her know you are in the grad queue and request your exam grading be expedited. TECEP grades have been reported to take as little as 2 days (when submitted online) to 6 wks depending on the exam. Of course multiple choice exams are graded much faster.
On the graduation form, submitted on or before July 1 (for september graduation), be sure to note in section 3 the May semester TESC courses still awaiting grades and the TECEP exam (incl date taken). The instructors have up until the 10th of the following month to post grades to the college. At least this was the case when I took my undergrad courses. (Note: Just because you see them on your grades page does not mean they've been submitted to the college. You'll know when they've been posted when you see them show up on your academic evaluation.)
The process for me was as follows:
- They will begin the file auditing and then your file will sit on hold until the final grades have posted.
- Once that happens the final credit evaluation, audit and certification processing will begin. The turn around can be as short as 1-2 days.
I would send out a tickler email to the graduation specialist if all grades have not posted by August 10. Good luck!

Do I take the exam anytime within the 3 month block? Once I take the exam and pass, do I receive the credits right away? I am trying to apply for September graduation but I need to complete my two final courses by the end of July. My capstone course will be done by July, however this TECEP course is scheduled to be completed in August. Basically what I am asking is, if I take the exam in July and pass, will I receive my credits right away or have to wait till the course is over. Has anyone taken this exam without studying?
