New TESU Residency Requirement!!! 16cr, TECEP's do not count?!?

It looks like the amount of the Residency Waiver fee is the key to determining if this is a bad deal or a good deal. You'll have to take their Cornerstone course ($300), Capstone ($525 x 3 = $1,575), pay the $75 application fee, and the the $323 graduation fee, and probably something I'm forgetting. This is roughly $2,273. You're only other costs would be the costs of courses and tests from CLEP, DSST, StraighterLine, ALEKS, etc. At around $100 per course that is ~$4,000 (assuming 40 courses @ 3 credit hours each). That's ~$6,273 if the Residency Waiver fee is $0. Still... a four year degree for under $10,000 is a bargain.

Sorry if this has already been posted. Haven't read though the entire thread yet.
I called TESU. They said the residency waver fee is $2000 on top of all the other fees you need to account for.
Couldn't tell me if the GI Bill would cover it.
With that in mind I am changing all my stuff over to Excelsior. At least for my AS.
I don't think I'll be changing my BS anymore. We'll see how this all works out.

I've called TESU a few times now, as well as Excelsior to move towards getting a degree with one of them. Excelsior > TESU in friendliness and responding to calls/e-mails.
