I found this on the TESC FAFSA Handbook Packet:
http://www.tesc.edu/files/Financial_Aid_..._11-12.pdf (page 4)
Federal financial aid will be awarded only for enrollment in Thomas Edison state College guided study or online courses, but
not for TECEP examinations, Prior learning assessment (Pla), FlashTrack courses or e-Pack courses
So now it looks like I need to answer two questions for myself:
1) Which is better...guided study or online courses? Both run 12 weeks long...
2) How many credits are you allowed to take in those 12 weeks? If I were looking to take 21-26 credits in 12 weeks, I wonder if that would be allowed.
Still researching. Guided study, from the description, seems more appealing. Does anyone have any feedback?
My income last year was $0, so I'm thinking it would be smart of me to get the ball rolling on applying/enrolling and sending in financial aid papers. I just started working so I HIGHLY doubt I will be able to receive financial aid for 2012. I would realistically finish my Bachelors degree by December 2011 (cut off line to 2011-2012). I would be going in with 62 potential transfer credits.
