Any modifications or considerations to my plan at TESU?

No. Again, you only need 6 TESU credits. If you want to avoid the residency waiver, you would do a flat-rate term of 16 credits. But, if you have the budget (which some people do), you could take the cornerstone and capstone(s) from TESU and then complete another 24 RA credits somewhere cheaper.

If you do the flat-rate term, the remaining 14/15 RA credits can come from literally anywhere that gives RA credits. You do not need to do another flat-rate term. 5 TEL Learning classes would be $1000 and cheaper than another flat-rate TESU term. ASU would be $2125 for 5 classes and that would be about half a TESU flat-rate term. 5 LL TECEPs would be $750 and be one of the cheapest, though possibly most difficult, ways of earning RA credit.

TECEP exams do not count for residency, though.
