How does Financial Aid work if trying to get a degree from TESU??

Hmmm, so she could take say 9cr at our local cc which would cost $765 not incl books, and use the rest of that theoretical $3000 toward books and other online classes? Or pocket that toward TESU’s fees?

I see that she could potentially take almost all her credits then at a cc which would leave upper level courses. She hoped to take those locally here at the extension college perhaps. I’ll have to go see what their courses cost per hour. My concern with them is that they will require enrollment but perhaps that’s not that big of a deal.

The reason I’m thinking all this through is A. the priority that she have no debt for her bachelors, B. taking some upper level classes locally where she can have the solid classroom experience with other people majoring in what she also loves and under hopefully good professor/mentors, and C. Still getting her degree from TESU which has a few more flexible requirements than our local schools, and. D. She does hope to go to graduate school so a gpa in those upper level courses locally would be beneficial.

9 credits isn't full-time. 12 credits per semester or 6 months is full-time. Unless there is a consortium agreement, only the credits taken at the school for which you're receiving financial aid will count.
