TESU ASBA. Need help with a degree plan

[bjcheung77]

I guess one could always delay applying for graduation until they're sure they are less than a year away from the last degree. It truly sucks though. I could see someone losing $2k just because they had an illness or some such.

That's true and very unfortunate as things happen; for many people who go for both the ASBA/BSBA, they apply for graduation at the same time.
For the newer people on the residency waiver, they would just do the same as you mentioned, delay graduation of ASBA until your BSBA is done.

That also sucks since for many people, the point of the AS is to get some immediate value in their career while they continue to work towards their bachelor's, because as we know for adult students, life happens and that second degree may not happen as planned. Also once the BS is in sight, the AS isn't very useful anymore.

I hope TESU can be made to see reason on this. They should halve the fee for an AS, and/or extend the validity to 3+ years.

If this is indeed true, I'll be doing the same thing. I'm done with my ASBA except for:
- The college comp CLEP (paid for, but procrastinating)
- Grad fee
- Waiver

If they think I'm going to pay for the waiver twice.. they're mistaken. My transcript can sit as-is for another year or two while I finish the BSBA.
