The drawback to not enrolling is that the school you are interested in can change their degree requirements on you. They can also raise their fees on you.
Sometimes us "Old Timers":coolgleam: get out of the loop when schools change things. This year TESC made some major changes and because I am no longer enrolled and no one I know is enrolled I have not read up on these changes. The 12 credit residency stinks but it can be covered with Capstone, one 3 credit course and one 6 credit course.
As far as I know paying the $75 again may keep your records up but you would not be grandfathered in on any new changes.
TESC usually (always as far as I know) makes any changes in the requirements on July 1st so if you enroll before next July 1st the current requirements will still work. If you keep your enrollment current for the same degree you can meet the requirements that were in effect when you started. If you are close to your degree but not finished you can extend your enrollment for up to 3 months without having to pay a full years tuition.
You are welcome to any help I can give but remember my info may be out of date. Any post that you read on this board about specific requirements should be considered on how recently they were written.
