Paying for Cleps/Maximizing student loans

[defscarlett]

I think attending a cheap community college is fine. You can test out of your UL requirements with the leftover financial aid.

Will COSC accept community college credit as upper level?

TESC's BSBA in CIS technically doesn't have a residency requirement. You can test out of the capstone or transfer it in from another school like Penn Foster. You can use your leftover financial aid for 24 credits worth of TECEPs in order to satisfy the residency requirement under the Per Credit Tuition Plan. This tuition plan does not have an enrollment fee, and TECEPs are only $111 each for non-residents.

Systems Analysis & Design will need to be taken at TESC as well as possibly one other CIS Area Of Study elective that will need to be found somewhere. That's with utilizing the TECEP Networking, DSST MIS and TEEX.

Completely testing out of a full fledged CIS degree will be incredibly difficult but there are alternative sources of credit for the majority of the courses i.e. other colleges.
