Pjbarney - don't worry about the $75. Thats a great way to start out and get access to the registrar and a free evaluation. Just don't pay the $2K plus enrollment fee quite yet. I paid my 75 bucks in October and CLEPed and DSSTed through January before I paid the enrollment fee. When I paid the fee I already had almost all the credits I needed to graduate. After you pay the 75 bucks you will have access to the school's website where you can go in and see your transcript evaluation any time. When you take CLEP tests, a few weeks later they will show up on the transcript in the right spot. Once you get close to finishing you pay the 2k plus graduation fee and get your degree.

Hi, I'm a newbie also, here on the forum and TESC. Perhaps those more experienced will clarify, but I'm kind of wishing I had read more on this forum before I sent my $75 app to TESC, (plus a couple of fees for transcripts.) It seems to be more economical to take CLEP/DSST tests before applying, so you will be within 6 months of finishing by the time you apply.

In my case, it's been so long since I have taken courses (first yr. college was 1968) that I really don't remember exactly what courses I've taken, so it might be worth it for me to see my transcript evaluation so I can plan better. I guess the worst that can happen is I may have to reapply in 6 mos. (or enroll) if I'm not close to finishing.
