Tecep cis 107

Hi Purplenova,

Is it my understanding that I can register now for this class but I have to take the test before the end date? <---- It's not a class. You are registering for an exam. Think of it as pre-registering to take a CLEP or DSST exam. And, yes, you have up until the last day of the semester to take the exam.

Since my evaluation is not complete, should I wait til it is complete? <---- Taking a TECEP has nothing to do with your evaluation. If you are waiting to see if the exam will duplicate something you've already taken, you will not receive a refund past the semester start date. So make sure prior to registering.

At what point will I be assigned an advisor. Seems like every time I call TESC, I get to speak to what sounds like a student helper, type rep. <---- You are not assigned an advisor. This is not like a B&M university. What you can do is schedule a 30min appointment to speak with an advisor from the department. Read the mini bios about the Advising staff to get an idea of who handles what area of study.

My advice - begin to move around the website. As soon as you have full access, get online and get comfortable with the myEdison format (moodle course management system/helpdesk ticket system/student forums). TESC is not a hand holding type of school. It is geared towards the adult learner; which translates to getting comfortable researching topics, learning the ins and outs of your program and developing a strong skin. This is not the easy road but it can be fast and very rewarding.

Good luck!
