Well....the the answer is unclear. I'm under the 2015 catalog, and they told me that I would not be allowed to graduate since I didn't have 16 credits in residence. I do have 16 credits from TECEPs, but three of those credits were earned after the May 2016 term. I had to file an appeal and complaints with multiple agencies for them to count my last TECEP toward the residency requirement. However, in 2016, they let me graduate with the AS with only 13 credits in residence when the requirement had changed from 12 to 16 for associate's degrees. Once again, TESU is being inconsistent and doesn't know what it's doing.
The technical answer is that TECEPs taken after May 2016 don't count as residency credits for anyone other than military. The real answer is that TESU might mistakenly clear you for graduation, or they'll waive the residency requirement if you raise hell and embarrass them. Since I filed a complaint with the higher education agency in New Jersey, they're probably letting everyone from the 2015 catalog and before graduate. Working directly with the school got me nowhere. A few people here said that I shouldn't complain to outside agencies. Don't let anyone walk all over you.
