Residency Waiver Fee is applicable for students who earn less than 16 credits via TESU courses for an associates or bachelors degree. Let's get down to the examples below to see when a fee is required and the only two ways of "getting around that".
If you complete a certificate or an associates degree, you can pay for the residency waiver fee and it will be for 12 months, so if you complete a bachelors within that time frame, you're good - otherwise, you'll have to pay for a second residency waiver for the bachelors. If you are paying for the cert, associates and bachelors degree, the residency waiver is "void" at that date, it can't be used for another degree.
If you complete a certificate, an associates, and a bachelors degree at the same time, you just need to pay a residency waiver for it, if you are going for a second certificate, associates, or a bachelors any time AFTER the first residency waiver, you need to pay AGAIN - regardless of time you finished the first degree (it could be 1, 2, 3 months or 1, 2, 3 years).
Now, there are only two ways to get around paying a secondary residency waiver for a second degree (associates or bachelors).
1) You pay the residency waiver when you are done with both degrees, example, you finish your BA and BSBA at the same time.
2) You have completed 16 credits for the first degree at TESU, that residency requirement has been met for the second degree.
Wording kind of confused me.
"If you complete a certificate or an associates degree, you can pay for the residency waiver fee and it will be for 12 months, so if you complete a bachelors within that time frame, you're good" then you added " If you are paying for the cert, associates and bachelors degree, the residency waiver is "void" at that date, it can't be used for another degree."
I have an ASNSM and a BSBA CIS I'm almost done with. Can I graduate with the associates now and pay and wait 11 months for the BSBA CIS on the same waiver fee?
