Questions about TESC

Doug,
If at all possible, call and try to get a few answers before enrolling. I can almost guarantee, before they answer more than a question or two about any program, they will want $75.00 registration fee and your transcripts so THEY can determine what you need. Good degree programs, bad customer service. Their programs run 12 weeks now. Since Jennifer is going through them now, she would know better than anyone how they work. They told me 2 weeks ago TECEP's should be scheduled 1-2 months out and it is a pain to find a proctor. I have posted on other websites about their service, it's last to none as far as I'm concerned. One last thing, your better off waiting until your close to completeing your degree before registering because of the high annual fees. The catch-22 is if you do your own planning, what you determine you need might be different from what they say. (I'd almost bet on it). Jennifer, do you concur w/any of this?

Getting a proctor for a TECEP isn't that hard. A really helpful library staff or another college could do the task. You do have to schedule them at least a month beforehand, just so they can send the exam out and you could study. I agree on doing your own degree planning for exams but beware, they could take credit from anything and then apply it, potentially wasting time and effort for an exam taken but not applied to the degree plan.
