Tesu help

[newbie]

Hello Guys ,

First of all thank you all , for your reviews , questions , feedback and success stories . I have been reading here a lot and finally found the courage to start from scratch ( well not really from scratch since i have been able to complete Business Statistic , college Algebra , Principle of Marketing and Principle of Management in a Week).

Long Story Short i was trying to go whit COSC first for a BSBA but an Admission representative told me it was not possible to do both Cornerstone and Capstone at the same time and i would not be able to have my grades in by end of May for a June Graduation.

Now my other Option would be TESU BSBA . I originally looked into the Per credit tuition plan , whit the 24 CREDITS requirements , but then i am not sure how the TECEP exams are schedule. Can i take them anytime i am ready or they have specific dates?

Also i do not mind going by the Enrolled tuition plan as i am literally trying to graduate this summer ,i not currently employed and have a lot of free time for to test out and pass. I saw on TESU website that the graduation registration deadline was April First ; not sure if TECEP ( for the residency requirements purpose would still be possible) .
So i am guessing my only option left would be the Enrolled tuition plan. I am a Military Spouse so i qualify for in State Tuition. And from my Understanding the Second plan will allow me to graduate as soon as my credits as Complete whit no residency requirements.

Your Help and advice would be Highly Appreciate.

In order to graduate from TESU in June, you would have to apply for graduation by April 1, and in order to apply for graduation, you have to have most of your credits completed and over to them by that date (I think close to the 120 needed, like 117 or 114).

For the per credit plan, you would not be able to get all of your tests done by April 1. You have to sign up for the TECEP's as if they were a regular course, and you can only do 3 per term; currently, you could sign up for 3 TECEP's for the March term if you paid for the late registration for them and then next week you could sign up for 3 TECEP's for the April term, and then 2 for the May term.

So, if you're willing to pay the Enrolled Options plan, then you can do that instead.

First, you have to apply for enrollment; it takes 4 weeks for TESU to do your initial evaluation, so if you applied today, you wouldn't have it done (and be a student) until March 23rd-ish. Then, you would apply for graduation separately on April 1; you would have to have ALL of your courses done, and get them all sent over right then.

Good luck, and let us know if you get it completed.

If you signed up for TESU today, the earliest you could expect to graduate would be September - the last term you could have taken the capstone in and still had a june graduation would have been february term. Thomas Edison State University: Graduation Information

That's just the nature of the administrative beast. If you need the degree for a job you should be able to tell them exactly when all your requirements are complete and that you're just waiting on commencement though.

You might look into Excelsior - they confer degrees every month. I know their degrees aren't quite as test friendly as some of the other options, but depending on what credits you already have that may or may not be an issue. Their classes are only 8 weeks long also. It might be an expensive route to take, but it might get you to the finish line a couple months faster than TESU if you're really in a hurry.

The OP can test out of the capstone with the BSBA from either Penn Foster or CSU-Global. So it's still possible to graduate in June.

Although if you want to take the PF course, you need to find out the timing, as I've heard it takes at least 3 weeks to do the course (3 weekly webinars are required). Also, not sure if CSU-Global has terms, if so you would need to wait until one starts to sign up. But if one was available starting March 1, you could do it then.

Not and fulfill the residency requirements for the per credit option. If he was willing to pay for Enrolled Options Plan and then not actually use it to take any classes, then he might be able to do it, but he'd still have to manage to be accepted in time to apply for graduation.

The OP said in the original post that they were willing to do the Enrolled Options plan.
