TECEP Cost - Holy smokes!

[nnahh]

Let me guess, you signed up for the February term? They added a $150 late fee to the regular price of $117. If you don't want to pay that, you'll have to wait and register for March term.

Ugh, yeah I had not considered that. That is good to know though. That seems super steep for a late fee. 

Thanks for the info!

Considering that the normal cost to take an online course with them is $1500, a 10% late fee charge is not bad (not great either).  But when you add that same fee to a $117 exam, it becomes a 125% late fee, which is ridiculous.

I still can't figure out why they run their TECEP program as they do, having to register during a term as if it were a class.  It's dumb.

It counts as an enrolled class for financial aid and tax purposes even though you can't use financial aid to pay for them.

I appreciate it because it allows me to keep my student loans deferred lol. I signed up for 3 TECEPS in the fall and was considered more than half-time, which automatically deferred my payments. Also, if you are taking regular online course, taking a TECEP or two can help you maintain full time status.
