Super Confused about the Residency Waiver

[dbinghamjr]

Pell grant is divided by 3.  So you get $2115 per term max.  TESU uses Pell Grant formula 3 

You do need to be at least taking 6 credits worth of courses to get the Pell Grant.

Right, so with the flat rate @ $4,639 + $348 in fees (App & Graduation), minus $2,115 from a Pell Grant, you're left owing a little under ~$3k before buying books.

Regardless of how you do it, you'll have to take 7cr of OL/GS courses (capstone+cornerstone+1cr option), so what I'm wondering is if you can use those 7cr to get the Pell Grant & then tack on 9cr in EP courses without affecting financial aid...
