TESU Degree planning

[bjcheung77]

It's my understanding that the TECEP is only good for a year.  So did you renew it (sign up again) in 12/21?  If not, it would seem like the issue wasn't that you didn't complete the course, but that you didn't have a live course on your schedule.  If someone could clarify, it would be super useful to know, as I have several friends who are using the TECEP to keep their catalogs and have been renewing each year.

Inactive students have 3 years, just make sure to be active by then. You don't really need to use the TECEP option each year, it's best to do it that way as rules always change. To be safe, you should get your friends to take the TECEP yearly if they can't finish the degree within a year.

They did not move the goal line - you did not do what you should have to keep your catalog.  The rule is, you need to remain enrolled, which can be done via registering for a TECEP once per year.  You didn't do that, hence, you lost your enrollment status.

The OP didn't lose their catalog year, advising and you weren't aware of the other options available to inactive students, there are so many things 'hidden'. BTW, I don't see how your comment above actually tried to help the OP in any way.

Anyways, it's great the OP got where they needed. For those reading, it's best to "wait" for answers as senior members may not always have the correct answers. We're all human and mistakes are made, it's not the fault of that one person, we should work together in finding options to help if at all possible. You may want to PM senior members or even moderators to see if alternative options exist...
