After applying how long do I have to get credits?

I think a lot of B&M schools are $20-$30.

Ouch! I think the most I paid was $7 for a transcript. I think I got off lucky then. Unfortunately though, I had to order from four different schools plus ACE twice -so it added up! $24 to the first school I applied to and $59 to TESU. I recommend only ordering your ACE transcript the one time after you have your courses planned in, unless you just want peace of mind in seeing those courses on your TESU evaluation.

One note about enrolling vs applying - if you apply it doesn't lock in your catalog. If you enroll, which would entail either taking a course or a TECEP, it would at least lock you into a catalog. This may not be a big deal depending on the major you want but it is possible they may change something. That usually happens July 1 each year but can happen at any time. The TECEP is cheaper - I wouldn't go with taking a course unless its the capstone which you have to take anyway but that is usually at the end.
