Has anyone gotten a notice of free TECEP tests "by mistake"? I've seen others post that they do free teceps sometimes. Got a message saying:   Congratulations on your admission to Thomas Edison State University! We are delighted to share more good news from TESU: You qualify to take up to two (2) TECEP exams at no cost for the April term!

Scholarship Terms:

This scholarship was made possible by the 'Some College, No Degree' Institutional Grant and is dependent on available funds for the April 2025 term, which begins Monday, April 7, 2025. Registration for the April term is open. First come, first served!

Please note: this scholarship can only be used for the tuition cost of up to two (2) general education TECEP exams in this term and is nonrefundable and nontransferable. Financial responsibility for any other courses registered outside of TECEP exams will be the financial responsibility of the student followed by a second email after I applied :
an email regarding a TECEP scholarship was unintentionally sent out earlier this morning. Please note that, if you received such email, it was sent in error and should be disregarded.

I am guessing it's a new students only offer? Would've been helpful when I started smh.

I had planned to pursue an MBA or Master's in Management after completing my Bachelor's degree in business and teach business as a career. I have been advised Pell Grants can be used to pay for a Post Baccalaureate Teacher Certification as long as no degree is awarded. Thanks to Sophia, I am graduating with two years of Pell Grant eligibility remaining. 

I'd like to find an online, Post Baccalaureate Teacher Certification Program, at a regionally accredited college, that will allow me to take graduate business courses ( cross registration??? ), as well as the requisite education courses, in pursuit of my teacher certification using my Pell Grant. Hopefully, the tuition will be very affordable and the business courses could be transferred to an MBA program at a later date. Ideally, the graduate program offering the business courses will be accredited by AACSB but I can live without it.


Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

I would like to accelerate a Masters in HR from TESU, has anyone been able to do this? I have some classes I could transfer from another degree. I'm going to call them but wanted to see if anyone has experience doing this.

Thanks!

A big hello to all and many thanks in advance, 

I've been on the site on and off for 7 years or so.  I made an attempt to get a degree back then but having a child and then the whole Covid thing delayed it all. My son  is now in kindergarten and I have more time for studies so I've decided to get back to it.   My goal is to get a undergrad bachelors degree, so I can get my teachers’s certification.  I'm an ESL teacher now. 

Quickest route possible but some sort of educational focus would be good.  Business or management is ok too. UPMI seems like a good fit if it’s still possible to transfer in 90 credits and I can finish the last credits in 2-4 months. Sophia is a good match for me at this point for the rest of my 90 credits. 

Any guidance or a specific plan would be very helpful and appreciated.

Anyone have recommendations for a General Biology II + Lab credit source? Mostly considering New Mexico Junior College or the other South West Community Colleges but wanted to see if there were any other options.

The Center for Plant Conservation (CPC) Rare Plant Academy launched a free course on Applied Plant Conservation. Almost all the modules are available and focus on many aspects of plant conservation, cultivation, and reintroduction, specifically with rare plants in the United States.

I am projected to get a D on Software Engineering for the January term. This might bring my GPA down below from a 2.7 below a 2.0.

I am not sure what to do at this point because I want to submit the June graduation application.

If I test out of this course through Saylor, would I still earn credit for that course but my grade is still unaffected?
