TESU - Cheapest way to "re-enroll" before July 1

[bjcheung77]

So, I just looked into my details and it shows that my enrollment is going to be "kapoot" by July 30.
I want to re-enroll at least a few weeks before that... what's the cheapest option now? A TECEP?

[Flying-Ace]

Yep. A TECEP taken in the July Term would ensure no lapse of enrollment. You would probably be fine taking it in August, but since you are planning to graduate this year, why wait?

[StoicJ]

Just wondering, how and when did your enrollment start?

[rlw74]

What do you still need to take? I assume you are applying for graduation by July 1st since your signature indicates a September graduation. I assume you have already taken the capstone exam? or course? Can you get all your courses transferred in before then and go through degree audit? Will you even need a TECEP? I'm guessing that if you do all that before July 30 you won't need to extend your enrollment because you will already have applied for graduation. But maybe I am wrong about that. By now you should be almost finished and it seems silly to have to waste $100+ to stay enrolled when you are finished with all your coursework and its only a matter of waiting for them to finish your degree audit. I know they are starting degree audits this week so depending on where you are in line, you should be approved here within weeks unless you still have courses to finish.

A TECEP or contact TESU and see if applying for graduation would be fine. Like RLW74 stated you appear to be wanting to graduate September of this year and the deadline to apply for graduation is in a few days. I feel like if you apply for graduation they you wouldn't need to reenroll as you are all done. You could apply for graduation and register for a TECEP that way incase something happens with your audit you have a fall back plan. And yes they started Degree Audits Monday June 19th and are prioritizing all individuals that are showing 120/120. At least that is what the e-mail they sent me said.

By the way it appears when I applied for graduation it reset my Enrolled status to the date I applied. Not 100% sure what that means but worth noting.

[bjcheung77]

I enrolled by doing two TECEPs and that was last year, in June. So it added a year to the enrolled status.
I'll just apply for graduation as I have a couple more courses left in the AOS, I need to finish them next month.
Both are coming from Study.com and it should give the discounts for cornerstone/waiver, etc. Yay!

I just received my degree audit - even though I'm not at 120 hours because I still need my capstone grade to post. The letter says I've been audited and is pending the capstone course. If you go ahead and apply you'll get a similar letter saying you were audited and what remains to be completed (those couple of courses from study.com you mentioned) and then you'll be good to go. You can call advising and ask but I'm thinking that all that will take place before July 30. It's only June 20 and they seem to be getting through graduation audits pretty quickly.

Wow that was super quick when did you apply. I am hoping to get my audit done in the very near future so I can just sit and wait for graduation. There is always that little though that something will go wrong.

I applied 5/9 but my understanding was that, while they go in order, they only start with students who have evaluations marked as complete (120/120 credits). I have more than 120 credits but the Capstone course is still labeled as IP = In Progress so my entire evaluation is marked as "Pending (Anticipated Complete)". I'm surprised my evaluation was even looked at but am thankful. As soon as my course is graded I'm supposed to email them and they'll do a second review and then turn the file over to the committee. I guess I keep stressing that it is somewhere in the process down the line that something might not get approved / changed / questioned etc. I'll feel a lot better when I see the official "Complete". In the meantime, I'm just waiting for this capstone course to be graded. I turned my assignment in already but it isn't due until this weekend so I'm not thinking I'll see a grade for a week or more depending on how much time the professor needs to read and grade a dozen+ 50-80 page papers.

Do you have to pass the TECEP to extend the enrollment period? If so, what happens if I enroll to take a TECEP in my final month of enrollment and then fail it? Does that mean that immediately my enrollment lapses? Also, if my enrollment ends July 20, and I enroll in a TECEP in the July term (take it in Sept) and fail, then what?
