Residency waiver fee payment means no cornerstone (TESU)

[ndelco]

Yep, I got a similar message:

The residency waiver fee is for those students who have not completed the University’s residency requirement in which you must take at least 16 credits with the University. If you have not met the requirement, you would be required to pay the $2000 waiver for graduation purposes. You are required to take TES-100, as it is a part of your degree requirement and is planned into your academic evaluation.

If I can be of further assistance, please let me know.


I was happy for a night at least.

My understanding is that it shows up as an elective. Are there any special notes attached to the evaluation that mention the Cornerstone requirment?

Also, can someone explain to me what catalog is TESU currently on? Was prior to July 1st showing up as 2016? And applications after July 1st considered 2017?

If you are military, TECEPs still count for residency towards the Military Degree Completion Program.
They haven't been removed as yet, even though it doesn't state it on the website.

Wasn't there some question here as one person was told within a year, and another person was told that it would apply to the Bachelor's regardless of time frame? I don't think that was ever clarified. As usual, advising is leaving us with more unanswered questions.

If it is the case that there's no time limit, and you know for sure your end goal is the Bachelors at TESU, then it still makes sense to pickup the Associates along the way. Otherwise, I'd agree with you, dfrecore.

Honestly, with the advising situation at TESU, I'm not taking the chance. If someone asks me for their advice, I will wholeheartedly tell them NOT to get the AA/AS at TESU. I don't care what happens, unless TESU posts it online in the catalog, I'm not going to tell someone to risk $2000 on this. It is NOT worth it.

And, even if you get something in writing, what's to stop them from changing their minds later and rescinding the rule? They just did with the cornerstone.

You all feel free to give whatever advice you'd like. But I would feel TERRIBLE if I gave someone this advice, and then they had to pay the money again to get their BA/BS. Seriously, I would be distraught if someone followed my advice and it cost them an extra $2000.

No argument there. Until we know for certain, I agree with you.

Thank you for this! Seeing how it should look on the evaluation if you are required to take the course is great! I'm also glad I didn't pay for this course yet.

TESU isn't consistent on this matter. I have an email from advising saying the since I was on the 2016 catalog this course wasn't required, but I'm seeing everyone here saying it was required for that catalog if you didn't apply by a certain date in May. (Which I didn't)
