Free TECEPs Offer for Accepted-but-not-Enrolled - PLEX - 03-20-2024 I read in the forum that some folks got this offer for two free TECEPs in February, so I went ahead and applied to TESU. After not getting the offer within a few days of acceptance, setting up in the portal, etc. I emailed testing@tesu.edu to ask about it. As you can see in the following, the email text says "general education" TECEPs. However, in the "scholarship eligibility form" I am seeing the long list includes 3000, and 4000 course codes - which I believe is for upper level. Also, note that they say it is first-come, not need-based, and not guaranteed. I am also unclear on how long you have to actually take the TECEPs with this offer. So, I'm nervous about deciding which ones I will select. Even though it is less bang for the free bucks, I will likely do medical terminology and will look closely at my likely degree plan in combination with "easy" reports to choose the other. Everything I've read makes me think I will hate taking the TECEP: proctoring nonsense; small font for my old eyes; being used to predictive grammar and spelling assistance I won't have; inability to go back, even when asked to elaborate on previous questions; etc. Anyway, here is what they sent me when I asked for it: ***Below is our TECEP Scholarship email that was sent out.

RE: Free TECEPs Offer for Accepted-but-not-Enrolled - RJ77 - 03-20-2024 You have a 12 week term in which you have to take the TECEP. Here's the full email you get after registering for it: Quote:Dear RJ77, RE: Free TECEPs Offer for Accepted-but-not-Enrolled - bjcheung77 - 03-20-2024 Awesome, so current students or enrolled students aren't applicable... Oh well, I should get my cousins or wife on this if they want to. I'll let them know anyways.

Oh well, I should get my cousins or wife on this if they want to. I'll let them know anyways.It might be worth asking testing@tesu.edu to be sure. TESU did not explicitly tell me the criteria, and I see no language that pins it down in the email, nor the "eligibility" form. The form does say, at the top, "Some College but no Degree," but it doesn't ask the question, nor further explain. They have my associate's transcript evaluated and have not told me I am not eligible. I'd guess the form is old and has that no-degree "title" from some past campaign..? I mainly gathered from what I read here in the forum that they have recently offered this as a push to engage accepted-but-not-enrolled students in some forward momentum. |
