Follow the template here and the addendum which is the last post of the thread, provide as much info as possible, how many courses have you taken at TESU so far?
Basically, if you want to take courses to bump up the GPA, you can retake that course in addition to some other courses to get enough residency credits to waive the residency waiver fee. I think it's a better idea to redo the course and add enough courses to finish a flat rate tuition term at TESU.
If that is the only failed course, you may also want to do the flat rate term to bump up the GPA and get the needed credits for residency purposes, you should do this if you have enough energy/time to work on 16 credits at once. You can always extend the courses if you need to.

Huh, I didn't even realize the implications of the residency waiver fee. Good to know. Basically, I transferred in with about 90 credits already completed at a public university and a community college and was just looking to finish up. Liberal Studies seems to be my best bet as far as securing as many transfer credits as possible. I took 5 courses last semester and passed 3. One of the failed ones was the cornerstone course, so obviously I've gotta take that one again, and the other was the public speaking course. Based on what I'm reading in your link, it seems like it would be a good idea to retake the public speaking course through TESU in order to hit 15 RA credits. That way once I take my capstone I'll have met the requirements for the waiver.
I have 5 courses left to take besides those two and I was planning to do those through study.com just because it seems like less of a hassle.
