Wondering What to Expect as a New TESU Student?

A New One Credit Course Has the Answers

The Cornerstone: Lifelong Learning Strategies (TES-100) course is a self-directed, self-paced online course designed for new students.

The TES-100 course is structured to provide you with the tools that will help you acclimate to our programs, policies and procedures, navigate your learning environment and provide you with practical tips and strategies to help make you a more successful student.

Here's what you can expect:

• The TES-100 course is designed around online study materials and a series of lessons with associated online questions that you progress through without mentor interaction.


• TES-100 is a required introductory course for all new students. If you are a new student, you are encouraged to register for the TES-100 course during your first term at the University.
  


• Course work is structured to help you become acclimated to online learning while evaluating and strengthening your skills in writing, math and information literacy.
  


• New course terms begin every month, so you have 12 opportunities each year to register for the course. Preview the online syllabus.


• TES-100 terms are 12 weeks in duration, however, the course is self-paced so you have the option to complete on a shorter timeline.


• A one-time special tuition cost for enrollment in the TES-100 course is $300 for students enrolled under the Per Credit Tuition Plan.
  


• Tuition cost for the course is included for students enrolled in the Comprehensive Tuition Plan.


• The one credit students earn by taking the TES-100 course can be utilized toward an elective requirement in any degree program.


• Grades for the TES-100 course will be recorded as CR (Credit) or NC (No Credit) on your transcript and will not affect your grade point average.


• You can register for the course through Online Student Services (OSS). Look for the "TES Cornerstone" course in the subject list.

Registration for the August 2016 term runs through July 16, with late registration from July 17–21 (late fees apply).
