Enrolling is not the same thing as graduation. There are two steps:

1) There are two ways to get enrolled status. One way is to purchase the Comprehensive Tuition Plan. You will be enrolled immediately, but it's very expensive except that there is no residency fee to graduate. The other way is to register for a TECEP or actual TESU course to get on the per-credit plan. I believe you need to actually pass the TECEP/course or you will lose your enrolled status. You can also enroll in the cornerstone course, which looks like a guaranteed pass if you do the work. The per-credit plan requires a $2000 residency fee payment to graduate if you don't have 16 credits in actual TESU credits. Unlike the comprehensive plan, you won't be enrolled until (10?) days past the beginning of the TECEP/course semester. Once your status changes to enrolled, you can apply for graduation, but don't forget to pass that TECEP. Most people enroll in a TECEP on per-credit because it's the cheapest way even with the $2000 residency fee.

2) After you are enrolled, you can submit the graduation application and the required $323 grad fee. The application is in the student portal. Remember, you need to be enrolled (step 1) before you can apply for graduation. If you are on per-credit without the 16 TESU credits, be prepared to pay the $2000 residency waiver fee.

Can I use financial aid to pay my comprehensive tuition plan? Great info!
