Please help me map out a good degree path and navigate fin aid.

e-Packs are covered by financial aid... if you are sneaky about it.

You sign up for 10 credits of regular classes: capstone, cornerstone, something super easy like ART1000, and a 1-credit class. With this, you get put on the flat-rate tuition plan. That is covered by financial aid. Then you add two e-Packs of your choice later as an "afterthought". Because you're on the flat-rate plan, the e-Packs will be "free" and you shouldn't have to pay out of pocket at the per-credit rate.

Other students have done this before, though I think that there is sometimes pushback from TESU for doing something you're "not supposed to" do.

Genius! Thanks Rachel, do you mind if I PM you for more info?
