Secondly, with that being the case and me not really wanting to get into more debt, I take it TECEP route is still probably the best route for me to go then correct? Can I just use the pell grant toward tecep or should I just not mess with the financial aid at all.

Lastly, I took my clep's at miami dade when I request the transcript of all records from them will they send my clep's or does clep have it's own transcript somewhere that I need to send in?

P.S. I should ignore this evaluation as it's not taking into account half of what I have completed correct?
I'll break my response down.

I haven't been in florida in over 12 years, but I appreciate the offer. Truly. Smile

If you are hell bent on not accruing additional debt (sounds smart to me), then yes, TECEP will be the most cost effective. You can only get financial aid if you take actual classes (not tecep), so you give up about $360, woopdie doo.

Last question, you have to send an official CLEP transcript from the collegeboard (about $20 I think) to TESC directly. They will not evaluate credit transferred to another school. It has to be from the original source. This is the case with basically all schools. This will also include your FINRA stuff. You wanna request this all in at once.

If you can ballpark what you already taken and think you can guess where the rest of the credits will go, you can probably start taking some TECEPs now if you don't want to wait another 4 weeks to start.
CLEPS Passed: 10 DSST Passed: 11 TECEPS: 1

PrLoko-isms
Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.

Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.

Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.

Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.

Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.
