Thank you both. I'm trying...and definitely see that some courses will have to be taken and thats not a problem because I actually want to take them because I need their content as thoroughly as possible. So as you explained I can take some of these courses from other places and then bring them to TESC later maybe take them at a cheaper college online as well?
So I would ultimately be going to TESC i guess my final year to do their capstone course as well as to have them process and convert my exams to credits?
Where i am still confused is they have this pay per course set at $491, then enrolled tuition $3154 w $235 per course, and then Comprehensive which is $8647 w I guess no cost per course up to 36 courses? Then also explained something about needing to have 24 credits with them in order to get your diploma? So then I imagine I would have to calculate which plan to take....as well as plan on taking 24 credits w them? As well as plan on going to them for my FINAL year..because they explained that your account can go inactive w them if you stop actually going to them...to shoot off and take exams for a year.
My other question is do the exams ever expire? I take it I can just take them while not being enrolled anywhere? Or do i have to take them and then immediately get them converted to credits at a school? meaning I need to be enrolled somewhere?
Thank you for your help...it is encouraging to see others who have gone this route because I am limited in time and savings to try to do the most with. It gets complicated because I need the most help I can from financial aid. While paying my bills. So going full time for the most help would be most ideal not just for the aid but because I want to go as fast as possible. Im just not sure what my efc will be since last year I did work and they are looking at that. Plus all the local schools are so greedy some even have all these hoops to hop just to enroll like ACT scores or an existing AA. Theres a lot to find out...then a lot to digest and fall semester is around the corner....so im trying to rush to get myself enrolled as efficiently as possible. Seems like I need a masters to get past the enrollment process....I see nothing has changed since the last time I went to college physically...absolutely nothing...if anything it might be more complicated. :willynilly: Some dont even want to answer questions without you being enrolled. Much less tell you how your financial aid will be applied. Its all tricky trix and we're all to be silly rabbits.
Thank you Linda.
