Evaluating my Options

[Mab81]

It would probably be better to discuss it in that thread, but @DIGI-212 is the first person I've heard of who was able to get a second bachelor's on one fee. However, they haven't actually graduated with the second bachelor's, yet and it wouldn't surprise me if they came back and required another residency waiver before December.

I emailed TESU and asked if i could complete the ASBA, pay the fee and then complete my BALS without paying the fee again. This is what they said:

That is correct. If you pay the residency waiver fee for the Associates degree and then complete the Bachelor's within the 12 months afterward, you will not be required to pay the fee again.

By return email, please indicate which Bachelor's degree you intend to pursue and I'll add it to your record now.

So just to clarify, if one takes this approach, they'd have to pay the graduation fee twice, though right? But only one residency waiver fee.

I didn't ask about the graduation fee.

Forgive me if I missed it but have you already transferred your credits to TESU? I ask because that staff member Patricia asked at the end said "please indicate which Bachelor's degree you intend to pursue and I'll add it to your record now". Your Record???? I know they have a CRM system or maybe she is referring to your active Student Record notes?   

I am asking this because I had TESU ask me for my University ID#, they had previously answered my transfer questions. I had a new transfer question and I told them that I do not have a University ID# and am not a current student. TESU responded by saying they cannot answer anymore transfer questions until I have a University ID#.

For an associates and a bachelor right? I already have an associates. What about two bachelor degrees? Does two degrees equal two fees?

BTW - there is no way right now to get the HRM or GM BALS concentrations via testing out (that dratted Change Management course).  And the BS in Org Management can't be tested out of either (not enough courses available in the electives area that can be found inexpensively that I'm aware of).

But you could add the Undergrad Cert in Organizational Leadership using Org Behavior & Leadership Communication as your UL courses in the BALS AOS - but you'd still need 4 more courses that won't fit into the degree and would be Free electives.  So again, when you're getting to the point where a cert/concentration is going to add to the total number of courses you need to take, you're starting to get to the point where it's better to go with the BSBA.

Does TESU no longer accept CSU Global CBEs? There's one for Organizational Innovation and Change.

They do take them, but I don't remember that being accepted for Change Management (not that it doesn't, just that I don't remember it ever being confirmed for it).  It would be good if the OP wanted to ask them about it though!

I am enrolled in TESU and almost done with the ASBA. She was asking what bachelors i was planning to pursue so she could add it to my degree plan.

Can you ask if the CSU-Global course would fulfill the Change Management requirement for a certificate in Human Resource Management?
