Question about Residency Waiver at TESU

[Synicaal]

Hello All,

I have saw this question asked before but never saw a definitive answer. When is the residency waiver fee due. For me it should only be the $1800 because of Study.com. I want to Apply for September Graduation which the deadline is July 1st. My main question is:

Lets say next week I pay the $332 for the graduation application. I don't pay my residency waiver at the same time. July 1st rolls around and I only have $1200 of the $1800 is it due on the 1st or do I have until graduation to get it paid. I ran the numbers I only have 6 paychecks until July 1st and doubt I will be able to come up with the total $2132 for graduation by July 1st. I am hoping someone can confirm TESU will give you until lets say the end of July to finish paying the residency waiver fee. I may have to call TESU and get a definitive answer on this but I was willing to post the question up here first. I may end up just borrowing some money if need be so I can be done with it but I am not going to worry about that until Strategic Management TECEP is completed and Passed (only credits I'm still "worried" about).

I didn't see an option for a payment plan. That is question you will need to get word from TESU about.

I can tell you the residency waiver fee does not need to be paid at the same time as graduation fee as it is good for one year. It is highly recommended that you pay it close to graduation time.

They will ask for it as soon as you apply for graduation. How long you might hold them off before they cancel your graduation application I couldn't say.

I was told that the Residency wavier needs to be paid BEFORE applying for graduation. When I paid the wavier, the woman that I talked to at the Bursar's office told me that by paying the wavier it changed how my enrollment appeared to the auditors. So instead of the auditor seeing I had not made residency, it showed that I had, via paying the wavier. If you haven't paid the wavier in advance, your application could be rejected due to not meeting residency, and you would have to wait until the Dec. graduation instead.

Thanks for the feedback, I will just have to call them at some point in the very near future. The money wouldn't be an issue but right now I have been paying 120$ a month for the Intermediate Accounting II course I am taking at Oakton CC. Well worth the money in my opinion but its a total of $603 dollars I don't have towards graduation that I would have. I may just go to my bank and see if they will loan me the rest I have been borrowing to often from family and friends (then again its for very very good reasons but I still don't like doing it)

Once I applied I got an email saying that the audits for June graduation began the week of March 20th, two weeks before the deadline. I would expect the same or similar to be true for the others as well.

I understand what you are saying here but I don't see how if I was to apply and pay for graduation now for September and the deadline isn't until July 1st (meaning they will probably do first audit a week or two after that) I should have about a week into July before they look and see I don't meet residency requirements. It will cost me 353.83 every paycheck from now until July 1st to come up with the money, just not doable with rent and bills and all that fun stuff. I will figure it out I was hoping to be able to spread it out over an extra month but it doesn't look like that will be possible.
