Residency waiver fee payment means no cornerstone (TESU)

[dfrecore]

Wasn't there some question here as one person was told within a year, and another person was told that it would apply to the Bachelor's regardless of time frame? I don't think that was ever clarified. As usual, advising is leaving us with more unanswered questions.

If it is the case that there's no time limit, and you know for sure your end goal is the Bachelors at TESU, then it still makes sense to pickup the Associates along the way. Otherwise, I'd agree with you, dfrecore.

Honestly, with the advising situation at TESU, I'm not taking the chance. If someone asks me for their advice, I will wholeheartedly tell them NOT to get the AA/AS at TESU. I don't care what happens, unless TESU posts it online in the catalog, I'm not going to tell someone to risk $2000 on this. It is NOT worth it.

And, even if you get something in writing, what's to stop them from changing their minds later and rescinding the rule? They just did with the cornerstone.

You all feel free to give whatever advice you'd like. But I would feel TERRIBLE if I gave someone this advice, and then they had to pay the money again to get their BA/BS. Seriously, I would be distraught if someone followed my advice and it cost them an extra $2000.
