How long does TECS take to enroll?

[rebel100]

A quick look indicates you would need the following for an AA at Charter Oak State College (COSC):

Ethics (3) (there is a free one at saylor.org that should work or there is a clep or dsst) FREE?
Speach (3), DSST or prove you have some public speaking experience and get this requirement waived. Waived?
Non US History (3) and Global Perscpective (3)....you can fulfill both of these with the DSST Human Culture Geagraphy $80
Natural Science (4-6) Take any SL Chem/Bio with a lab and be done, any 6 credit CLEP, etc... (100)

COSC Cornerstone ($1000)
COSC enrollment fee ($240)
COSC Graduation fee ($205)

You can still get this done by the end of the year. The Cornerstone is an 8 week research based course that culminates in a paper essentially about you.

TOTAL cost at COSC about $1650 give or take a little, depending on factors discussed above and incidentals.

I think you will have to apply for an age exception, but they will grant it based on your accumulated credit.
