Need update, what has changed?

[icy]

Walkingstick shows 2 degree evaluations with reports dated 07/24/20. ASNSM Computer Science, and BSBA General Management. Catalog year 2018 for both. Program Summary for the ASNSM shows complete. Summary for BSBA shows me needing to complete 8 courses plus the capstone. TES-100 says "Waived". I completed some Study.com courses that transferred over.

Does all this sound promising? What is the cost for the TESU Capstone now? How much is the waiver?

The cornerstone and capstone are each 3-credit courses, so you're looking at 3 x $519 each or $1,557 per course ($1,197 in-state). The residency waiver is $3,192 and graduation fee is $298 for a total of $6,604 ($5,884 in-state) plus whatever you pay for the courses you take elsewhere.

Maybe ... I would be very quiet and try to keep your old plan. Maybe nobody will notice the break and you'll keep the old catalog.

Yeah, I was thinking something might fall apart when I get Moodle fixed. The plan WAS to finish by getting 9 credits via Saylor, and 15 via Study. At Study I was pretty much done with 3 courses. I need to see what still transfers.

I COULD get all credit by exam done by January, then do the Capstone and apply for graduation. A few hundred dollars for CBE, Capstone cost ($397 x 3 ?), and residency waiver (GEEZ, I just looked, $3192?). So $5000 or so plus graduation fees. That doesn't look so good.

Considering your enrollment status will have expired by now, it is very likely that when you reapply to TESU to move back into applied status, they will reset your catalog to the current one and you'll lose your cornerstone waiver (TES-100 isn't even an option any longer). So you should also plan to take SOS-110 (cornerstone) as well as the capstone. Both of those are 3 credit courses, and if you're not a NJ resident, that means $519 per credit not $379 per credit (since the Study.com discount doesn't exist anymore).

If you take 16 credits at once at TESU, you qualify for flat rate and residency waiver. Saves a small amount of money.

Well, if you can avoid the residency fee and pay the full-time flat-rate tuition, that will save quite a bit of money. However, you have to take 6 courses instead of 2 directly from TESU (18 credits) to make that possible. You only need 16 credits but its easier to do 18 than 16 and the cost is the same either way.

If you do a 114 credit transfer, you're looking at taking the cornerstone and capstone at TESU (6 credits x $519 per) so per-credit tuition of $3,114 + residency waiver of $3,192 + graduation fee of $298 for a total of $6,604 ($5,884 in-state) plus whatever you pay for the courses you take elsewhere.

If you take 6 courses (18 credits) from TESU directly (which is cornerstone + capstone + 4 additional courses) you can avoid the residency waiver fee and only pay $4,639 flat-rate tuition + graduation fee of $298 for a total of $4,937 ($3,877 in-state) plus whatever you pay for courses taken elsewhere.

So you're looking at a savings of $1,667 ($2,007 in-state) which is a decent amount of change. But it does require taking 4 additional courses with TESU, which are all 15-week courses with no option to accelerate.

Hi, I’m wondering if the 6 courses taken directly with TESU have a time frame they have to be completed in? Can they be taken spaced out over a few years?
