How does the residency wavier free work?

[davewill]

Enrollment and the residency waiver are completely separate. You have one year from applying to become enrolled, or lose your catalog and have to apply again. After you become enrolled by taking a course or TECEP, you have one year to either graduate, or take another course or TECEP to extend your enrollment.

After you apply to graduate, you pay the residency waiver. If you pay the residency waiver for one degree, like an associate's, you have up to a year to graduate with another, like a bachelor's, without paying the waiver again.
