TESC, after a year of no activity my college credits have been deleted

[dfrecore]

It appears TESU can change degree requirements on a dime such as the cornerstone. And there are the major tuition changes. There wasn't enough notice on the tuition change to avoid it. So I think the July rule-of-thumb is no longer good. Get yourself enrolled in 1 TECEP ASAP (even though the TECEP won't count towards residency if passed) or take a $1560 class.

July 1 is when they change the CATALOG and degree requirements (at least, it has been for some years now), so that's what I was talking about, not the cornerstone, or the tuition plans.

Enrollment has to do with being enrolled, and whether you take a TECEP or course at TESU, won't change that. You can take those without being an enrolled student (you can do it as an un-matriculated student), and you can enroll without taking a TECEP or course. I applied in June, and showed enrolled (matriculated) in July, and took my first TECEP in September. There were no issues. If I didn't take a TECEP until December, I would have been just fine. I was still listed as ENROLLED in July, before I took a TECEP. It says on the website that you don't have to take a TECEP/course for 6 months after initial enrollment, and then again once per year to stay enrolled under your current catalog.

There is no annual or registration fee with the Per-Credit Tuition plan at all. You pay the $75 application fee, and that's it. I haven't paid any fees to TESU since I applied, except for registering for TECEP's. My only other fee I expect to pay is the Graduation fee.

Going forward, I'm not entirely sure how things will work, since previously you locked in a catalog and then you knew the rules for yourself, based on the catalog you were under. It's very strange all of a sudden to have these changes put in place in April and May, without knowing how they're going to affect current students, and I think they do themselves and their students a disservice by enacting these rules in this new way, without a lot of clarity. Bad administrators in action.
