How about Competency Based Degree providers such as UMPI, Walden, WGU? Have you enrolled or kept your enrollment at TESU? Are you still active in their system? Have you taken any courses or TECEP exams at TESU? If you have, then you keep your catalog year. If you have not, then you will be moved onto the new catalog year and will be subject to changes - the cornerstone, etc. The costs of education has gone up, but there are still ways to try to keep the costs to a minimum... I would work on the 3 items below and update the thread once you're done.
Another question, which state are you in? Texas still? As long as you're not in the state of confusion and you have people here helping you, you'll do fine... If you know the amount you have for tuition assistance, that would be great - If you take 16 credits at TESU, you skip the residency waiver fee. It'll be best if you can do 10+ credits in one term and then 6 credits on the next term to finish off those credits, or just pay the residency waiver fee. You also seem a bit "stuck at 60 credits" and not moving forward since your last thread. Did you read my Beginner's Guide yet, it was referenced in that thread? You may want to view the wiki version of it instead, review my signature and Wiki links below...
I am planning on sticking with TESU. I enrolled a few years ago. Due to medical issues and random life events, schooling was put on the back burner. Yes, I am still active in their system. I have not taken any courses or TECEP with TESU. With this info, I should be moved onto their new catalog year.
Yes, I still live in Texas. I need to look into my employer's reimbursement program; I don't believe they will pay for the online courses taken through places like Study or Sophia. However, I believe all fees associated with TESU will be covered. I'll start working on getting answers to those questions tomorrow.
Please see the attached file for the roadmap I built out with the resources y'all have provided. Would y'all please look over it and provided any recommendations you might have?
Thank you again for all the help!
