Heyo!
So thanks to the guardian scholarship, I will be at 35 credits within the next two weeks. I don't know what to do about TESU though.
Why should I register now? How much will it cost? What do I have to do to stay registered?
I don't completely understand why I shouldn't just wait till I have all my credits.
Thank you for educating me!

Getting enrolled does a couple of things. First, it gets you access to advising, and allows you to have your transfer credits evaluated. You can also have courses you've yet to take planned into your eval so that you know precisely how they will transfer in and what degree requirements they will fulfill. Second, it locks in the catalog so that changing requirements don't delay your degree. The new catalog typically comes out in July, so you would have to be enrolled by the June term to lock in the current catalog. It costs $75 to apply. To become enrolled requires registering for a course or TECEP. Once you're enrolled, you have a year to either graduate or take another course or TECEP to continue your enrollment. A TECEP costs $114. Since you're qualified for the study.com affiliate pricing, you would not be required to take the $300 cornerstone course.

I wish I could like this more than once. In one fell swoop you've given me a clear path forward! I'm sure this answer is to be found else where but I couldn't locate it. Thank you!! I'll be registering Monday!
