TESU residency waiver fee: 1 year, 2 graduation cycles?

[Merlin]

Ever since TESU introduced the residency waiver fee, people have received conflicting info.  

It's been a couple of years and I was wondering if they have finally settled on a consistent course of action.

I'm waiting on a December graduation audit.  (According to the email, they were to begin September 24.)   

And I just had a moment of panic:  
Is the Residency Waiver fee good for ONE YEAR (e.g. AA in the Spring, BA in the Summer) or is it ONE DEGREE? 

It appears to be one degree, but like you said its hard to get consistent information. It should be a year but I'd rather be safe than sorry, which is why I'm waiting to confer my ASNSM at the same time as my BSBA.
