SDC and EC UL's

[ss20ts]

I feel like they really just want you to pay their overpriced tuition and fees.

That's most likely correct.  My understanding is that they're struggling financially, and you can't pay the bills with students who enroll, send you a couple of transcripts, and walk away with a degree.

During my enrollment at EC, I saw a steady progression of new student costs; capstone, cornerstone, elimination of transfer credits for ILR and so on.  To be fair, though, the situation doesn't seem very different at COSC or TESU.

It's not like EC has a campus to pay for. They have an office in an office building in an office park. Granted where their office is located isn't the cheapest place to have an office. You don't just enroll, send transcripts, and get your degree from EC. You are required to take 7 credits at $500+ per credit. EC has become much more restrictive on transfer credits over the last year. I have UL credits from a university that they would only give me LL credit on which is ridiculous. Their website is not very helpful at all. The staff doesn't know what's going on and takes weeks to respond. That was my experience. It wasn't run like a college. I've seen preschools more organized.
