Enrollment in TESU

[bjcheung77]

So this might be just the dumbest question ever on the forum... but what is the importance of enrolling? Can't you just be an applicant, transfer in your credits, take the capstone and then graduate? Or does everyone have to take a TECEP as the cheapest way to be enrolled?

There's a few benefits of being enrolled, and taking a TECEP is the cheapest/easiest/fastest way to get that done.
1) It locks you in for the calendar catalog year, if you really need to have that option
2) If you need a course that's not offered elsewhere, it maybe the cheapest option (UL BSBA AOS courses)
3) Fee's won't change unexpectedly nor will the courses

Depends on "who" needs it and "when" they need it. If you're starting from scratch, there's no rush to get enrolled.
If you have more and more courses and more than about half way, and you know you're done in 6 months or less, no rush.
If you have less than half way and know you'll be longer than 6 months, I would apply/enroll *if* you need that catalog year.
