Breakdown of course/site costs

[Doodlebabe]

There's no money hitch with the Guardian Scholarship (it's free).  The first course you have to take is Personal Finance, and you have 3 months from the date they send you the approval email (NOT the date you sign up).

Modernstates will send you a voucher for the CLEP and send you a check for the sitting fee after you send them the receipt.  The reimbursement  checks take a while (up to 2 months from my email conversations with them).  Still, you can't beat the deal with a stick.

Oh, that's good to know. I don't have an account with them yet but fingers crossed I get the scholarship! That would be nice. 

And thanks for the extra clarification on Modern States. Combined with the response from Ideas 2 months sounds on par.

Another possibly easy question but I'm a little fuzzy on TECEPs. Some threads I've read say you need to take one to officially be a TESU student (or something along those lines). Some ignore them completely, even on their spreadsheets.
TECEP: Is taking one required or no? Is that what the study.com residency waiver is for? *This bit is something I am VERY confused about*
