My suggestion however is not to cram all 16 credits into 1 term, you should be able to split that and instead of "saving", you're "investing" in your future educational goals. You can go a flat rate with 12+ credits and the 2nd term, the Capstone (plus any other course you want). Remember, the more you do well on the course can help you get into GT OMSCS, you should also add the UT-Austin MSCS as they are both tied for #38 in the US Rankings.
Thanks again! I started looking at registering but it seems like I got caught out by the terms and the condition that flat fee needs to be all in one term?
Ideally, for my math requirement I'd like to take Cal 3, Cal 4 (since both syllabus seem similar and have got infinite series covered by Coopersmith cal 2) followed by math modeling. Then take Capstone, Critical Lit, PLA to hit the 16 credit (so I don't have to pay for the residency waiver).
Is there any way around availability vs registering all in one term...? (ie. late registrations)
Mapped out terms and courses here.

The flat rate is only one term for a max of 16cr. The PLA-100 course only lasts one month.
Ideally, you want the easiest courses possible if you are going a flat-rate term for 16cr. And it helps if you don't have a bunch of exams to study for.
The math courses can take longer to do, and unless you are confident in your math abilities and have 40 hours a week to work on your studies, you may be risking your academic success if you attempt to do all those courses in one term.

Thanks levelUP. Yea I'm pre-studying Calculus on Khan Acad before I start(which should cover both Cal III & Cal IV) since I've never taken tesu courses. Math modeling doesn't have exams. So that's math out of the way. Crit Info, PLA & capstone. I'm thinking maybe take one or two on a separate term, ideally 1 because I can then take more advantage of the flat fees.
Problem is, the terms don't seem to line up. Wondering if there's any way to get around flat fee vs term availability?

No, there isn't a way around it.

Some classes are only offered certain terms.
I was on the Study.com discount so my classes cost under $1000 each so I didn't worry about the flat rate.
That deal is now gone.
Looks like you could take Geometry & History of Math along with Calculus 3 in Sept.

Damn. Thanks LevelUP and thecarrynothihng. Maybe I'd just take credits from other places one by one and pay the waiver fee + cap & lib so I don't have to kill myself doing too many at once.
Now to find some cheap and accepted UL credits from other schools...

If you take UL classes elsewhere, but still take a couple at TESU plus sufficient LL to get to a flat-rate term, that should still be cheaper than paying for the waiver.

Since you're going to be spending on courses already, do the BACS/Math and BSBA CIS option! Do the flat rate for the easiest 15 credits and take the hardest two courses for the next term. Finish with two degrees instead of one for the same price... And to be extra careful (have more ROI/Value), drop two associates into your program list and any applicable undergrad certs if you like as those are included.
Some students have done it this way, including carrythenothing and jsd as examples, there are more students adding in additional as the courses they've taken previously already have completed the requirements. I wouldn't purposely add these unless you're just 1 course away where you can transfer them inexpensively, if you haven't got any credits towards the associates or cert, don't bother starting.
