How does the residency wavier free work?

[saraholson]

My TESU enrollment is up in January. Let's say I can't graduate by December, what would have to do? Would I have to pay the residency wavier twice (once for one year, once for graduation)? Would I need to enroll in a course to TECEP to stay active? 

Also when does it count the one year? Your enrollment date or the date of your first course or something else?

Please explain all this. Thanks.

What Davewill said, plus - just to be REALLY clear - the residency waiver payment does not renew your enrollment. I asked about this recently. My enrollment is up soon. I had thought of maybe locking in my associates by paying the waiver fee and then continuing classes for my bachelors. But they said paying the residency waiver doesn't go towards renewing enrollment. you will still have to renew your enrollment by either:
1) registering for a TECEP exam
2) requesting a 'catalog extension'
3) taking an actual class at tesu

so if your ENROLLMENT period comes to an end before your expected graduation, you need to plan to do one of those things above in order to keep yourself as an active/enrolled student status at TESU.... then when you are ready to graduate, you would pay the RESIDENCY waiver fee.
