Current TESC enrolled question

[chiquitacobbe]

Hi everyone,
By now most of you know my story...lol

Re-cap
I enrolled with TESC in July 2012. I just completed my AAS in CS, applied for Sep Graduation. I decided to continue on with my BSBA. and possibly get second AAS in ESST. My annual enrollment is up in July 2013.

QUESTION:
I do not know if I will be able to finish the BSBA by July 2014 if pay the annual TESC fee $3800 again in July next month. If I do not pay the $3800 again will I still be active and not fall under the new gen ed requirements? I plan on taking alot of classes through PF, SL and CLEP so I was hoping to knock them out and then when it gets closer to completion pay the $3800 and take a class if needed at TESC and then apply for graduation for BSBA.

I just don't want to have to pay the money if I don't have to yet. But I want to be grandfathered in with the old general ed requirements.

I can add that I just enrolled and they only had me pay for the first term of the enrollment.

I don't know where you're getting $3,800 from. The enrollment fee is just under $3,000 and it's a few hundred more for the technology and graduation fees. For a few hundred more dollars, you can extend your enrollment for a few more months. They used to drop the enrollment fee about $1,000 for consecutive years, but I guess they don't do that anymore because I don't see it on the website.

Do what sanantone suggested. An enrollment extension is only a couple hundred and will give you one more month. You can extend enrollment three times (i.e., buy three months on the end of your enrollment). Should you need even more time after the three months of extensions are up, you will then need to pay the next year's enrollment but they reduce the enrollment by the amount you've already paid into the enrollment extension. If you're paying out of pocket, it's the closest thing you'll get from TESC to a payment plan.

Do not let your enrollment expire, however. You will need to reapply and enroll, putting you on the new degree plan.

Thanks I guess I will have to pay again and hope I can knock it out in 12 months.

Sanantone I thought I paid $3800 last July. I hope your right.

Do they contact me about paying again or do I have to reach out to them? I'm not see what the date is.

EDITED.....

Just checked my snail mail and there was a bill from TESC asking for the $3,075 to renew my enrollment again. Perfect timing. I guess I have no choice but to pay it and hope I finish in 12 months or 15 if I extend. I should be able to. I hope!

With everyone's help on here I'm sure I can.
