Applied to TESU, do I need more credits?

[Mab81]

I have only just begun my journey on this project - I only have one credit so far, on my ACE transcript, from the free Sophia course. Nothing else, no other credits (yet). I applied to TESU and have not heard back yet (likely due to the holiday) but it occured to me, are they going to require I have more credits before I can enroll? I know COSC told me they require 9... I didn't see any requirements on TESU's web site.

I think someone on here said I may have to take a TECEP. Do they make you sign up for that right away?

thanks!
