Also, being older, I paid to get at least the AS in my hands as quickly as possible but check other posts as there has been a lot of discussion on how some people here wished they had just registered for the BS and kept working toward that. Otherwise you pay the $895 (?) to get registered, then $495 to graduate. Then you have to re-enroll for another $895 for the BS and a second set of graduation fees, and if it takes longer than a year you only pay the annual fee to roll over which is, if I remember correctly, about the same as the graduation fee.
I'm not exactly sure of the fees, as I'm just answering this without verifying.
Check their site for all of their fees and plan ahead if your ultimate goal is the BS -- you will have more money for testing fees and/or courses.
I thought if EC students enrolled in the B.S. immediately after doing an A.S. they received a huge discount on the enrollment fee, something like $400 off, so that the cost for doing a B.S. in addition to an A.S. would be about the same as if you had just done the B.S. alone, except for having to pay two graduation fees. Does anyone know for sure? Was that just a promotional thing or do they do that for all subsequent degrees through EC?
