Paying for TEC or Big 3

[mrobinson]

Getting your credits to the school doesn't cost that much. You can get all your CLEP credits transferred for $20, and your DSST credits for $30. If you have credits you're transferring through ACE, the transcript is $40 for the first one and $15 for all subsequent ones. For community college credits, I'm not sure how much it would be to transfer them to the school, but I'm guessing it's not that much

You pay the big bucks when you're actually enrolling at the college and paying the fees for the classes you want to take. As far as paying up front or not, I'm enrolling soon so I don't have an answer quite yet

Ok, Good info, I was thinking that the cost mentioned on TESC website was per CLEP test so if I took 3 that were worth 3 credits each meaning 9x20 in the example was the cost, plus their enrollment fees at TESC or one of the Big 3.
I do already have FAFSA approval at 100% and am enrolled to get an AAS in paralegal studies but, Im older in my mid 40's and I didn't want to take 2 years or more to get the AA so I took 4 classes this fist quarter.
My goal if I could do some CLEP exams and reduce the years it takes to get a Bachelors in something easy like Criminal Justice or Liberal Arts so I can try getting into LAW school and use my GI Bill and FAFSA on the more expensive parts of school.
Thanks for all the tips from all-good discussion and gave me a couple good ideas on how people are funding this.
