Are my number right? ( Cost Comparison)

If you don't have residency, then you will have to pay the Residency Waiver of $2,000. Then, when you get your BA, you won't have additional fees.

Also, the Graduation Fee of $323 would have to be paid twice. If you're graduating with both degrees at the same time, then you only pay one fee, but if you want to do two separate graduations, then you have to pay the fee twice.

One thing to note: it's unclear if the Residency Waiver lasts longer than a year (there have been mixed messages from TESU), so you would want to get something in writing from them if you were going to take longer than a year to get your BA.

Thank you so much for your expertise and wisdom! Thank you!

The ASBA would only be free if you graduate with both at the same time. You can graduate with both an associates and bachelors at the same time. If you wanted both degrees just ask TESU to add the ASBA to your record and an eval will be done for ASBA. As you transfer in courses both evals will update at the same time. Once all of the requirements have been satisfied for the ASBA you can graduate with the ASBA or wait until you finish the BSBA. The residency waiver fee is new and TESU is not quite sure how it works, may have to be paid once or paid twice, nobody knows for sure not even TESU.

There's no downside to declaring the ASBA alongside the BSBA. You'll just have two evaluations that you can look at. If you decide to only finish one of them, it's no big deal. I still have an ASNSM eval sitting in my account. I decided not to do the extra course it would have taken, and just got the BACS.

Thanks! Once accepted, I may give them a ring to do just that! Why not? Lol I may just go straight for the BSBA.....but why not? Thanks for your help!

One more question. For the ASBA, do I have to "apply" to TESU and pay the $75 application fee to declare the ASBA? I'm looking all over and i can't seem to find another way to add the ASBA to my profile.

You just have to ask advising to add it.

so if I got my ASBA from TESU could I apply to WGU Information Security in order to get the block transfer?

Ideally i'd like to utilize my remaining Pel Grants before I graduate from TESU
