Heads up: Residency Waiver Fees MAY go up July 1st

[dfrecore]

So I wrote TESU yesterday in regards to the residency waiver fee and got written confirmation of the increase:

Yes, On and after July 1st the new residency waiver rate will be $3192

If you have any additional questions, please respond to this case.

Thank you,

That means if you pay the $298 graduation fee + $3192 = $3490 to graduate at TESU now!

You actually have to compare apples-to-apples when comparing costs between schools.  You have to look at how many credits you can bring in, and then the total cost to take courses at the school plus any fees.  At COSC, there are per-term fees and you have to go at least 2 terms, and there's going to be an extra fee for some to take that lab science; and let's not forget they're adding the RA credits requirement which will be hard for some to get.  At EC, there is an Enrollment fee, unless you take 12cr there.

Right now, the costs for each school bringing in the max credits:

COSC $2,848
EC $5,300
TESU $5,814

How did you come up with the $2,848 fee for COSC?

I'm wondering that as well. If that is true then COSC is a good deal. Even after 24 RA credits it would be cheaper than TESU. How did you get only 2848?

Also in my post here:

I got 6594 base cost for TESU degree with 114 credits transfer. However, maybe my math is wrong. Also I assumed no study.com discount and out of state. Maybe you added the discount in.

I'm using out-of-state, w/all discounts, and not counting costs of 113/114 credits because that cost will vary by a lot; this is JUST the amount you will be paying to the schools for fees and tuition, to finish your degree there.
