BACS update

I appreciate the advice. I graduate at the end of may like around the 21 assuming I do not get delay with the virus. With that in mind plus the accuplacer and the month-long evaluation I will not be able to enroll till probably the end of June and so I would have to take the classes earliest it would be is July assuming everything including the accuplacer goes smoothly. Two questions though: would I be able to use pell grant if I started taking classes in July and can I take the capstone and sos 110 at the same time to finish my degree? Assume those are the only two courses left and I do not plan on double majoring in history nor do I plan on taking the tecep. Can I do that and graduate in Septemeber?

I'm pretty sure that as long as you sign up by July you should lock the old catalog so if you sign up for the August capstone you might still get the old catalog. But the thing is the July capstone comes with a tuition discount due to the virus and earlier graduation date. Also, who knows maybe the new catalog won't change anything but you never know, but with the changes, TESU has been making it doesn't seem good.

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to get the Pell grant if you took classes in July. As long as you have a FAFSA filled out and submitted to TESU and take 6 credits. Why do you think you would not be able to? If you didn't fill out FAFSA fill out asap.

Also since you are a high school senior maybe consider applying for a few scholarships in your community. I got a few after I graduated and usually, they just send you a check. Now that you have time with the virus it might a good idea. With the price of your degree being so low even just a few thousand in scholarships might pay for everything at TESU. Idk if the deadlines have passed through. I would look for small local or niche ones because not as many people enter. These might take more work but the odds are greater. For example, there was a local scholarship in my town they award to twenty people but you have to write an essay, but only eighteen people entered so they all won.

You can graduate in September as long as everything is done and submitted to TESU by July 1st. Of course, any courses you be taking at TESU (or even TECEPs) could still be in progress. So I don't see how it is a problem and apparently people on this forum say July 1st isn't hard and fast. And yes it usually does take a month but if you are really close to the date of graduation they can expedite the audit.
