Heads up: Residency Waiver Fees MAY go up July 1st

I would suggest applying to Excelsior and WGU as both accept Nationally Accredited credits, plus, both of them have free applications if you've taken Sophia/SL/Study.com courses.  It will only cost you the transcripts... if you save $ and get more credits transferred in the end, that's the win right there...

Yeah, you're right. It couldn't hurt to at least try. Been to WGU and had to withdraw for personal reasons and they wouldn't take me back lol. So EC it is.

Awesome...thanks for that!!

Hey @indivinefavor if you have 140 NA quarter hours have you considered EC?  They accept NA credit and TESU does not. Just something to consider especially if TESU makes more changes.

Yes, unfortunately I tried that route years ago. But I received a majority of my credits in Criminal Justice and since I'm now in the Business sector, the CJ degree wouldn't do me any good. BALS isn't really much better, but I definitely didn't want the CJ degree. They also barely gave me any credits (Westwood College) and they mostly transferred in as electives. But that was awhile ago, maybe things have changed, but since then I've tested out of most of the BALS for TESU. You got me thinking now...I'm wondering if I should reapply? I still have several social science courses left to test out of for the BALS, but I took a crap load of NA Social Science courses in my past life lol. HMMMM.

I believe if you do some courses with study.com or straighter line or something they waive the application fee. Someone help me out with the details?

If it is free you should at least apply. Couldn't hurt. You have to pay for your transcripts though.


I see you did WGU before was it a bad experience? They have business degrees and also take NA credits, so you could be super close there.

Thanks for the push. I just sent them an email and asked them about their eval process for NA credits. I did some more digging and found old emails (6 years ago) asking me to send Westwood syllabi for each course. Since this school is closed, these catalogs are nowhere to be found. But we'll see what they say. I'm going to finish my SL courses and put a hold onto Sophia until I hear back from EC about these NA credits. Fingers crossed!
