A bit lost and need some advice/help thanks!

BearEDU Wrote:Hey dfrecore,

Ah I haven't enrolled because I'm still trying to figure out how this all works like from cost+what to do first. Some one also said its better to enroll next yr instead when I get all my General education credits. At the moment I'm just rushing to do ALEKS to get the credits before it expires at the end of the month. Also not sure about all the changes that happened overall.

Some questions that still remain. Though its nice that i know i want a BSBA in General Management.

  1. Will I end up having to take 1 course at TESU when going with a BSBA in General Management. How is that like? Is BSBA GM all test out?
  2. What do you do exactly in a Busniess capstone, + cornerstone now.
  3. Do I need to enroll and submit an application to have TESU evaluate my Cuny credits? Does it cost money?
  4. If I enroll now vs later on in Jan will there be a difference in fees? I'm scared of enrolling now bc i would have to take a TECEP?
  5. I feel like i will be going a bit slow. Will there be yearly fees to keep remaining active while i try to test out most of my credits
  6. For BSBA In GM i see that you need to take quantitative literacy when i checked the spreadsheet it shows you can take it at ALEK but i dont see that option
  7. When signing up for ALEK does it matter which market i pick?





sorry lol alot of these questions are probably really ridiculous
Different folks here have different views on enrolling, some say wait, others like me say do it early. Applying has a $75 fee. After that you have 6 months to enroll by registering for a course or TECEP. As an applicant you have full access to advising and can send in transcripts and have courses planned into your academic eval. Once enrolled you have a year to either graduate, or take another TECEP to extend your enrollment another year. The $114 for the TECEP is the only fee needed to maintain enrollment and that compares reasonably with other forms of credit. I view applying and enrolling as motivational steps and commitment to the process.

In your shoes, I would apply ASAP and send in all transcripts you have. It will take at least a month, maybe longer, for TESU to process those, so meanwhile, keep reading here and start on the credits you know you need. Once you get your academic eval, identify a TECEP that can fit into your degree, then go ahead and register for it. You'll have 12 weeks from that point to study, which is plenty of time to prep.

Let every step you take from this point forward increase your confidence and add to your resolve to finish. You can totally do this.
