I could use some of your very knowledgable feedback on this. I've also included 5 DreamDegree classes in this since I am already into it and I am hopeful it will work out like they promise. I know I still need to whittle down a few spots but if you see anything out of place, please let me know. I based most of this on Sanantone's 2015 guide in the wiki, much thanks to Sanantone for putting so much work in putting that together!

Only a couple of issues I see:
1) Did you already take the CLEP SS & History exam before 10/31? If not, then it's only worth 3 cr.
2) Are you paying the enrollment fee when the time comes, or are you going to get 24 credits of residency? If the latter, you'll need to plan in those 8 TECEP's.
3) To make the most of your money, make sure if you're going to take 1 SL course, that you take more than 1. You've already paid the membership fee, take advantage of it!
4) For the specialization, make sure you get the 4 UL courses you need - some of the ones listed are LL. Just double-check as you go through.
5) Don't forget to get IN WRITING from TESC the course equivalencies as you plan some of these out. I could easily see them change Saylor Business Stats to STA-201 at some point, ruining your plan of having it be OPM-351. That kind of thing. You won't have that issue with most things though.

Good luck!

4) You need to know the course number when planning a course; anything in the 100's or 200's is LL, 300's and 400's is UL. That's the course number that TESC counts it as, not necessarily the course number where you took it. Anything at a CC will be LL.

5) You can't get anything from TESC until you enroll, I would go ahead and start taking the courses now. Then, after you enroll and get your eval, you'll know where they put everything. If they don't put something where you thought it should go, you can ask them to change it, or appeal. Worst case, you have to take an additional UL course you weren't expecting to take. But you will know that pretty far in advance if you apply sometime between 60-100 units into your plan.
