tesc financial aid and really concerned - nj593 - 10-30-2009
Ok, I was talking to another student on the tesc forum today who told me that by me selecting the comprehensive plan and only planning to take 12 credits that I would owe tesc money come next semester when registration comes around. Is this true? Is there a way to avoid all this?
What is the proper financial aid that I should have taken?
TESC seems to push for the comprehensive and I know because they get paid more. But they also told me that once I finish if i dont plan on taking any more courses I could just cancel out. Is that false?
I.E. This December will be my only semester attending. It will be the 12 credits I need then Im done. What should I do?
Im so lost and to be honest I hate this school, freaking hate them. But they are the quickest and best for my needs right now.
Thanks again !

Thomas Edison State College | Selecting the Right Tuition Plan
Based on the info at the above link, and the number of credits you plan to take from tesc, maybe the enrolled option would have been better for you.
Ultimately the decision is between you and TESC, so maybe someone in the fin aid office could help you figure out which is best and if you can change at this point, etc.

Yeah thats the problem. I really dont get anywhere with them. To be honest I feel like Im buying a car when I speak to financial aid there. And when I speak with anyone else Im made to feel guilty for asking questions and bothering them. I feel like im calling the state. hilarious
Anyway, I will give them a shout again on Monday. I just figured I would try the forum before loosing my cool with them.
Thanks

You need to read the tuition plans very carefully. If you sign up for comprehensive, you have to PAY IT ALL no matter what. So, yes, you would "owe" them the whole amount. (if you graduate, dropped out, or took more classes has nothing to do with it).
If you are taking 12 credits, you need to sign up for enrolled- that's a flat fee plus pay per credit option.
As to what aid you should have taken, I'm not sure- maybe you mean to ask what tuition should you have taken?
