Enroll/Register at TESU: what is cheapest path to get started? - sheagang6 - 01-21-2018
I have been busy with work, and put pursuing my degree on the back burner. However, I need to get back to it. I have searched the site and wikia, and I'm not sure the answer to my question. So, here goes, I want to enroll at TESU. I have my Aleks courses, TEEX, and some insurance courses that should qualify for ACE credit. I want to jump in before things change. What is the cheapest path to enroll/register to get started. I will be pursuing all the avenues to take free/low cost classes, but I need to get the ball rolling.
Thanks in advance.

First read through that.
I don't know if your aleks courses will still work unless they were completed before they ACE approval.
.
Sign up for the study.con guardian scholarship. A lot of people seem to get it.
TESU is a pretty quick one. You should be finished in no time.

I took Aleks courses a couple of years ago. I immediately put them on my ACE. They don’t apply now at TESU?
I guess what I’m really asking is what is the lowest cost to get started at TESU?
I don’t want to pay their full tution. I guess a lot has changed since I last was on this forum.

You should review what's in the Beginners Guide, the Wiki, and create yourself a spreadsheet of what you've completed.
If you want, use the templates available in the Beginners Guide and customize it to your own personalized set of courses.
Cheapest method to get started is to apply to TESU and continue working on your spreadsheet courses.
1) ALEKS is transferable if you already have it on an ACE Transcript
2) CLEP, Davar, Saylor, Shmoop, StraighterLine, Study.com are the cheapest resources
3) You don't want to take anything from TESU but the Capstone

Thank you. So, do my spreadsheet, pay $75 for TESU, keep taking classes & transfer to TESU. I will review the wiki. I don’t have a deadline to finish, but I need to be able to say I’m working on my degree & there are certain business classes I need to complete. If I take them (like Marketing through Saylor), can I transfer to TESU to show something more official?

Yes, if you transfer your courses occasionally, TESU will put them on your transcript within about a month, and you can get a copy. Remember though that this will cost money. You're going to pay for the ACE transcript to be sent to TESU and then for an official TESU transcript. Will printouts count? If so, then that would be preferable.
Also, if you take classes at SL or Study.com, they will send the courses directly to TESU, saving you a step as well as money (they still need to be sent to ACE, but you won't need to send the ACE transcript to TESU).
From what you implied, it looks like you're going to do the BSBA? If so, here's a spreadsheet for you.

Also, you might be able to print an evaluation or the unofficial transcript (available in OSS) after your ACE credits transfer in to prove you are working on your degree.
