Something that comes up often in the TESU community is what to do when you’re between terms. Whether you’re waiting on the next session date, an updated evaluation or just trying not to lose momentum, those gaps can feel longer than they need to be.
One approach that a lot of students find useful is picking up a few courses on Study.com during that downtime. It gives you a way to stay active in your degree plan without having to wait for TESU’s next official start date.
A few reasons this tends to work well:
You can start immediately. There’s no calendar to work around, so even a short break can be turned into a couple of finished requirements.
Quick feedback. Assignments typically reviewed in about two business days, which makes it realistic to finish credits within a small window.
Short study blocks. With the newer mobile app, lessons and quizzes fit easily into spare moments during the day, which keeps you from losing the habit of doing schoolwork.
For TESU students, this in-between period is often the perfect time to clear remaining general education courses, electives or individual requirements that would otherwise clutter your next term. It can make the transition into your official TESU workload much smoother since you’re not juggling as many smaller pieces.
