New TESU Residency Requirement!!! 16cr, TECEP's do not count?!?

[Vaeal]

A little bit of information for those enrolled before 4/1/16. As of the date of the requirement change, I had all of the credits completed for my degree except the residency requirement of which I was 3 credits short. I took the capstone as well as 6 TECEP's giving me a residency credit of 21 (24 previously required for a BA). I received an email from from the university registrar which notified me of the change, said it wouldn't effect me as long as I continued to stay enrolled, and that I had met the residency requirements and an update had been applied to my transcript. I emailed back stating I was still 3 credits shy to which I received another email stating that because the residency requirement had changed to 16 and I had exceeded that, I had met the requirement and do not need to pay the waiver. So I get the benefits of the change without any drawback =)
