**ALERT** 8 CLEP exams downgraded

I also found the applying/enrolling process confusing. One way to enroll without paying $3000 per year is to enroll under the pay per credit tuition plan. You apply as a student and choose a degree program. Then after paying the application fee you become an applicant. After you register for a TECEP (TESC credit by exam program) you become an enrolled student (10 days after the start of the semester) To maintain enrollment you have to pass at least one TECEP every 12 months. If you fail a TECEP you can register for another one and still be enrolled. The TECEPS are $111 per exam and in order to graduate under the per credit plan you need 24 credits of residency credits (TESC courses or TECEPS).Most take either 7 or 8 TECEPS for residency credits depending on whether a capstone course needs to be taken at TESC. The TECEPS do not have to fit into your degree program. You can choose ones that are easy or interesting or that satisfy degree requirements. The pay per credit plan with TECEPS is popular and easy to get recommendations on TECEPS to take.
