South Texas College Free Semester

[gams007]

I finally got accepted into STC. YMMV, but it was a grueling process and everyone I talked to gave a different answer. I began the process at the beginning of August and followed up once a week. My warning is, if you want to take them up on this - START YESTERDAY.

Hopefully, I can get into a fall course to get the 1,700 and then register for better courses for the spring!

I sent my transcript in mid-August and forgot about registration. I tried to register for courses today for the second half of the semester, and kept getting TSI errors. I called advisement, and they cleared me for all the courses I got rejections for. LOL. My transcript still hasn't been evaluated.

I will tell you guys this is a headache I try today to add another course and they said no, after the 4th week you can not request to add a new course I was splitting my 7 week term period in 10 days for each course.
I started late because of them, I suppose to start on august 30th and when I called them my transcript was not evaluated yet I keep calling and calling and I requested to open at least one course for now or I will end loosing my free money, I already lost 3 days on waiting, then I decide to start a language course no prerequisites are required and they open it for me so in the mean time waiting to be evaluated I was able finished the Spanish course.
I asked add a new course, networking fundamental again I was needing to wait because they said have not yet send my transcript to the "OMG" after calling admission the found one transcript and they applied my other community college courses to my academic degree at STC. 
Later days later the open the Network course and I lost again more than a week from my 7 week term, now I finished the networking course and I requested to open a new course and I still have chance and my term terminate in October 15th and they said my last chance to request for to add a course was on September 20th.
After the 4th week of a term you can not ask to add a new course so Thanks God this was free, imagine if I had paid for the 7 week term I should have lost $1500.
If I only can use it for 4 weeks CBE only it a robbery  they did not said that on their website they said clearly you can terminate as many course as you can in 7 weeks term. 
So guys please take my experience if you decide try to choose the courses you can do fast.
Another thing that is very sad you need to score minimum 80 points to get 3 credits if you score les than 80% you fail the CBE exam, also if you score minimum a 90% you qualify to get 4 credits that why I choose the course that are 4 credits worth.
For my Spanish course I was needing to take 12 proctored exams it a pain they make it so difficult so you get stuck in one course if you pay for a 7 week term is a lost I take this challenge because it was free.
