Did I read a post from someone on the forum who took TECEPs strictly for residency requirements, including classes that were not needed? So if a student has already completed English 101 but then takes the ENC101 TECEP, TESC would give credits for the TECEP and then consider the previous English 101 class a duplicate. Hope I'm making sense.
Did someone actually do this or something similar? Or am I dreaming this up?

I don't know if it's exactly the same thing, but I am replacing a course from my original college with a TECEP just to meet the residency requirement (I am using seven TECEPs and the capstone to meet the residency requirements). My adviser said it was fine. It just means I am going to have three more credits than I need to graduate, which is fine by me considering the price difference.

I took quite a few 'extra' TECEPs for residency. They just bumped other credits from my Free Electives/General Electives to Unused and replaced them with the TECEP. My understanding is credit earned at TESC is given priority over other sources of credit.
