Help finishing up at TESU. Please.
#1
My daughter was enrolled at TESU a few years ago and had met all requirements except for the capstone. She was told by a counselor that all she needed to do was take the capstone and then apply for graduation. She is taking the capstone at the moment. Yes! They were wrong. After transferring her last credits in her new evaluation shows she needs 15 electives. She has already transferred in the 90 credits from alternative credit. Is it correct that the remaining 15 credits must be from a RA college?

What would be her quickest most affordable options? 

Thank you.

What she has.

If she already has 90 alt credits, then yes the remaining 15 must be RA credits.

Options include:

TECEPs. One proctored exam and done. $150 for LL TECEP. UL exams not recommended unless absolutely necessary.

UExcels. One proctored exam and done. Including proctoring fees and the "extras" (practice exams, "free" retake), the $110 exams actually wind up costing around $200-250. https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/UE...es_at_TESU

TEL Learning. https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/TEL_Learning $200 per course. Each course has 2 proctored exams.

ONU. https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Ol...University $50 per credit which is only paid after the course is completed.

ASU. https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Ar...al_Learner At $425 per course, this is the most expensive option but can be one of the easiest. Only $25 is due if you want to take a class for credit. Then you pay $400 at the end if you like your grade and want it added to an ASU transcript.

Assuming that she needs LL electives and not UL AOS courses, she can pick anything that strikes her fancy and use that.

What program/concentration is she going for? I don't see a lot of UL courses in that list, unless I'm completely missing something? You might be able to get more specific advice if you attach the results of the degree evaluation, with personal information removed.

The most important information is missing from this thread - the academic evaluation, could you copy/paste or send a screenshot to a PDF the entire valuation without the personal details at the top. I want to see everything from top to bottom, especially the "other courses" and "notes". The reason is, there are some people that are exempted from the newest 30 RA credit requirement (I am one of them!) as we had many credits past that number before they incorporated that requirement.

If I'm seeing the eval correctly, person already has 15 RA credits at TESU, so only needs 15 more for total of 30.

If she is a frontline worker (cashier, childcare worker, etc) she can apply for the outlier scholarship and receive 1 free course. https://www.outlier.org/pages/frontline-...cholarship

You have 12 RA credits and a 3 credit planned course at TESU (Communications), total 15 RA credits. My question for you is, are you going to be paying the residency waiver fee? You're so close to getting to 16 credits! You can take a cheapo 1, 2, or 3 credit course (PLA 100 & PLA 200) to have 16 residency credits at TESU to finish your degree. But that begs the question, how are you going to get the 15 credits? The cheapest might be 5 easy lower level TECEPS she hasn't taken before, for $750. The 15 RA credits are all free electives, meaning, it can be anything!
