TESC Per Credit Plan - Residency Requirement

[bricabrac]

TESC courses, in whichever form, will always take precedent. What the student need do is plan the credits accordingly, not wait until down to the last 21 credits. (Using Saharapost's unfortunate example.) It really depends on the degree program, certain plans have requirements that cannot be duplicated or substituted. (Ex. HR/OM - Organizational Theory, Marketing - Market Research, Ops Mgmt - Quality Assurance.) In that respect, yes, you will lose credits to gain residency, especially if your free electives are already filled. The BSBA has a limit of 6cr in free electives. But at the end of the day realizing the huge savings this plan would afford, if those lost credits were CLEP/DSST exams or cheap community college credits, I would not have a problem letting them drop to the additional courses section.

Also, keep in mind, DO NOT only refer to the college's software to judge accepted courses. Research your plan, if the courses meet alternate requirements, you can call advising and have courses moved around and/or planned. What they can do is PIN accepted/approved courses to a certain section to fill/complete the area. The other courses will then resort themselves to open slots.

Hope this adds clarity!
