Wait, so if we enroll in TESU during August, we can still qualify with TECEPS? My apologies if I'm reapeting exactly what you just said, but I am stunned and happy if that is the case, LOL! ...

Please, no! I was just trying to make sense of them accepting a TECEP taken in August since the May term ended in July. I thought maybe they had granted an exception because the OP was only one course short and so close to graduation. I'm quite sure it's much too late to enroll!

I'm guessing that line in red is due to an exception being made for an August TECEP?

Has anyone heard anything about TESU not honoring TECEP's taken in the May 2016 term after September graduation? I've finished all the requirements as of yesterday and plan on applying for December graduation next month after all my transcripts have been received and evaluated. I completed 1 TECEP in 2015 and 6 more in the May 2016 term so I more than meet the requirement according to what's on my academic evaluation.

"For students enrolled in the Per Credit Tuition Plan at Thomas Edison State University PRIOR to April 1, 2016, credit earned via TECEP and Prior Learning Assessment can be used to satisfy the residency requirement as long as it is earned as of or before the May 2016 term. For students who enroll in the Per Credit Tuition Plan as of April 1, 2016 or after, only Online, Guided Study or e-Pack credit satisfies the residency requirement."

Weird, you're right -- that works. The newer courses don't show up that way, though. You have to search for Saylor as the organization to find, for example, their psych course.

Good observation, and important for anyone else reading this to note. I've gone back and edited my posts, it's weird that all their courses don't show up when searching using just one organization name.

I highlighted it red. They gave me an extension on that one TECEP because I thought I could retake it in the same term and it is my last one.
