Need help understanding TESU application process

[EGnEC]

The residency waiver of $1800 would only be waived if you took enough courses at TESU itself. The courses at TESU are $1098 each (with current Study.com discount) so you're looking at spending many thousands. Courses at TESU will also tend to be slow compared to most other options.

OK.  That confirms my understanding of the TESU application/enrollment fees.  Thanks.

Yep, those courses aren't cheap, even with discounts!  However, TECEPs are only around $39/hour ($117 total/course), so taking some extra TECEPs would bypass the RW and save us some money.  We'll still need to pay for the Capstone, though.

TECEP's no longer count as residency, so skip that plan.

Unfortunately, there is no way to get out of the residency waiver, only to lower it (except to take 8 courses of course, but trading $8000 for $1800 is not a good plan).

THIS is why I posted my question!  This is the kind of feedback I was looking for because as I'm slogging through this process I'm sure I've overlooked some important details.  Not counting TECEPs is not cool.  Back to the drawing board . . . .

Thank you!
