Help! Advice needed, pretty please!

[inkleind]

I woke up startled this morning when I realized I haven't registered for a TECEP for this year yet. I got a new job in the fall and it's been all consuming, I just totally put this on the back burner. 

Can you take a look at where I am and advise on a good TECEP I can try to get in to to keep enrolled? I hope it's not too late already...

I don't have a lot of time to study and I hate math with a passion. 

annnndddd... if you're already looking at the transcripts, any ideas on which routes make the most sense for the classes I still need?

Y'all rock and I miss this community. Thanks for helping everyone as much as you do!

Inkleind, you did the TECEP for Strategic Management just in time, that's awesome!
1) Two easy/fast LL TECEP you should take (right away without study) are:
Applied Liberal Arts Math (MAT-105-TE) this is to get you enrolled
Computer Concepts & Applications (CIS-107-TE) this is for the missing science

2) You need to do the StraighterLine and Study.com combo to finish off the degree, they're the cheap/easy/fast route with the most value. Now, review my link below in my signature to the spreadsheets, complete all the SL/Study.com courses for the Professional Requirements, it lists all the ones for your missing courses. For the AOS, keep it simple, with SL/Study.com as well.

I know! I had been putting it off and then when they announced the strategic MGMT tecep was going away, I pulled the trigger. It was one of the first tests I ever took lol.

That liberal arts math, would that count as a gen Ed elective?

I agree that you should do Liberal Arts Math, it's so easy if you've already passed College Algebra & Stats, you'd be crazy not to do it.

The Computer TECEP is also very easy, and with your prior study, you should do great.

The other ones you might consider: Microeconomics, Financial Acct, Managerial Acct - all things where there are free ways to study for them online (Saylor, Modern States, MOOC's, ACDC Economics, etc.). At $75 each, it's worth it to try to get some additional credits.

Bummer that you didn't take more TECEP's and get the residency done that way!

Oh yes if OP is on the 2016 catalog. TECEPS count for residency right? A few more TECEPS is cheaper than the wavier.

Oh yes if OP is on the 2016 catalog. TECEPS count for residency right? So five more TECEPS at $75 is 375 which is way cheaper than the residency wavier.

It's no longer the case; I don't think additional TECEP's count at all any longer although I'm not certain of that (could you argue that the catalog says they do, and win that fight?).

I thought that's what you did for your degree.

Unfortunately, I was on the 2016 catalog year as well, you can NOT do the TECEPs for residency, it was the 2015 year or earlier where they allowed you to continue with TECEPS if you used them for residency purposes already.

[dfrecore]

It said on my eval that I could use TECEP's for residency, and then later I think there was a cutoff date for additional TECEP's counting (so whatever you took prior to that cutoff date counted for residency).

BUT, since the catalog actually says you can use TECEP's for residency (assuming you're in that catalog), then you should be able to fight their cutoff date. It's what I would do.

Y'all hardcore rock. I just registered for the computer TECEP. I barely scratched through the math Aleks stuff so I'm not going near the math tecep, unless it's literally basic addition and subtraction, I want nothing to do with it. I'm already worried about the accounting classes and I manage a half million dollar budget at work. There's just something about school work that doesn't connect to my actual life and gives me anxiety.

The residency thing is super interesting! I can see how that would save a ton of money. I really need to buckle down and knock out the other 50 credits I need, at this rate it will only take another 4 years....
