You can't do TECEP to avoid the wavier unless you are military.
As for as doing TESU classes.
Some reasons to do 16 credits at TESU:
-Some of your major contain classes that aren't found cheaply.
-You get tuition assistance, financial aid, scholarships, etc. (this aid and workplaces usually won't cover the waiver fee)
-You need the graded credit for a job or grad school.
-You can handle taking 16 credits in one term and want to just get it over with in one term. (remember TESU terms are shorter so 16 credits is a lot!)
-You are military (in that case do TECEPs)
-You are already close to 16 credits at TESU
If you don't fall into at least one of those reasons then just pay the wavier and take 6 credits at TESU.
