I've seen multiple members getting the pell grant and getting into Hodges free, which means a free Bachelors.
Looks like they accept Straighterline and lenient with credits, so I could practically do everything fast and free with full pell grant. Anyone in Hodges right now?
I was thinking of doing Hodges (Cyber security or CIT) or continue the path to TESC BSBA CIS then Hodges for their masters program for 3k as pell grants don't apply for graduates.
Asking because all the info on hodges is years old.

I think it depends on what the potential student is looking for. The original Per Credit Tuition Plan had only been around for two or three years. Before that, most people wanting to test out would pay a $3,000 enrollment fee under the Enrolled Options Plan. So, I don't think the $2,000 residency waiver fee is going to deter many people who wouldn't have been deterred years earlier.
Hodges sounds like a great option for those who want a competency-based program. They're cheap when you're able to work quickly. If you want to work very slowly, though, then competency-based programs can be a lot more expensive than testing out.

thanks for the reply. Do you know if TESC will change their test-out plans like they did last year ? For July 1, 2016 (tomorrow)? I was planning on registering today before the July 1 deadline (if there is a new change this year), but if not, I will wait it out to decide to either go tesc or hodges.

A lot of times in the past, they started posting things they were going to change before July 1, and this year, they made a bunch of changes on April 1 - so I'm thinking that may have been the end of changes for the year. But then again, I could be wrong...

I would generally agree with this, however I will say that if TESU had not put the per credit residency into effect... I would not have been able to start back to working on my degree. At the time I wouldn't have been able to pull together $2k, I was initially working on next to nothing.

Hodges is work if you don't pass the initial assessment. and some of the classes I absolutely dread. It doesn't help that life kept getting in the way, but I am nearly done with my first subscription and I am scrambling to finish courses. Still quicker then community college but I am very annoyed with myself.
I am hoping to knock out 20 worth of credits by the end of July. :puke: If I can do that then I will be happy with where I am at.

I'd be interested in hearing about the process. Are you doing a graduate degree or undergrad?

You would fall into the category of people who would have been deterred by the Enrolled Options Plan which was around longer. The types of students who didn't mind paying the $3,000 won't mind paying $2,000.

Exactly. I really wish they would keep the PPC plan w/ residency, or at least make it something students could individually petition for in extreme circumstances. I know so many other people who could have been helped by it.

Essentially, they decided they didn't want to keep awarding bachelor's degrees for less than 2k
