Explain TESU Fees...PLEASE

[onesaint]

Oh, awesome. thank you all for clarifying the Credit Hour Residency Waiver Fee and when it's best to pay that fee.

ETA: So the revised breakdown would be something like

- 1524.00 (3 unitsx508.00 out of state per credit fee) for SOS 110 at TESU
- continue taking classes (ACE, DCCT, CC, etc.)
close to graduation (within 12 months),
- 1542.00 Capstone
- 2800.00 Credit Hour Residency Waiver Fee
- 300.00 Graduation fee

Your timeline is off.  I would do it differently.

Immediately (all ASAP, but definitely prior to July 1, I'd do it this week):
- apply to TESU (before July 1)
- take 1-2 Study.com courses (shortest: COM 120: Presentation Skills in the Work Place)
- send Study.com course(s) to TESU (directly)
- ask for the Study.com affiliate discount be added to your account (prior to July 1)

Then, the plan should look like this:
- continue taking classes (ACE, DSST, CC, etc.)
- take TECEP exam if you come up on a year (easiest: Applied Liberal Arts Math or Computers)

Once you have at least 100cr, although I'd do 114:
- $1,137 (3cr x $379/cr for Study.com affiliation) for SOS-110: Cornerstone

Once you have most of your Major coursework completed (I'd take this as my final course):
- $1,137 (3cr x $379/cr for Study.com affiliation) for Capstone

Apply for graduation:
- $298 Graduation fee
- $2,800 Residency Waiver Fee

Thank you! This is great feedback.
