Credit Hour Residency Waiver Fee
In-state or Out-of-state Associates/Bachelors $3,354
In-state or Out-of-state Certificate $1,250

All Fees are Non-Refundable

NOTE: The Credit Hour Residency Waiver Fee applies to students who have not earned at least 15 Semester Hours from the University’s Online (OL), Guided Study (GS) or e-Pack® (EP) courses towards their associate or bachelor’s degree, or to students who have not earned at least 50% of their credits for their certificate from TESU.

If a student pays either residency waiver fee or does not graduate within 15 months, they will be required to pay additional credit hour residency waiver fees.

Students who successfully graduate from their first associate degree at TESU and pay the waiver will have been deemed to meet the University’s Credit Hour Residency requirement for both the completed associate degree and their first bachelor’s degree should they pursue one at TESU. The certificate residency fee may be applied toward the first associates/bachelors’ residency fee if the student completes their degree at TESU.

Students will be responsible for any increase in credit hour residency fees if the fee paid for the associate degree is less than the current fee at the time the student applies for graduation for their first bachelor’s degree.

Students with questions about the Credit Hour Residency Waiver are encouraged to speak with their TESU advisor.
