Process for starting at Thomas Edison or excelsior - Crt - 11-01-2016
Hello
Do I first enroll then start Clep testing as well as the other testing? My goal is to do mostly direct testing for an accounting degree. ( I have been doing accounting for 20 years). In the meantime I'd like to show a bachelors degree program on my resume so it would be helpful to be enrolled with a target
Thanks for all the feedback in advance!

There's no reason you can't apply immediately. For TESU, apply online and pay the $75 enrollment fee, you will receive an acceptance email within a week. Then send in any transcripts from schools or tests that you have. To become officially enrolled, you need to register for something. Typically that would be the required Cornerstone course, or a TECEP test. That should be enough so that you can list your Bachelor's as "in progress" on your resume. To maintain your enrollment, you need to register for something before a year passes from your enrollment date, but there are plenty of TECEPs, plus you will have to take the Capstone (It's a TECEP for BSBA) to finish the degree. If you move through your credits quickly, the cornerstone and capstone will be all you need to take at TESU.
I don't know the specifics for Excelsior, but once again you should be able to apply and become a student at any time.

If you already have some credits, post them here and we can help to figure out a degree plan for you (I normally do TESU).
