Apparently I misunderstood "Some courses can be used to satisfy requirements in more than one category but each course may only be used once in a degree.". I knew it didn't apply towards required courses (such as technical writing which is required for CJ) but I thought one course would satisfy requirements in multiple categories of Gen Ed.
Thanks for looking it over - I have some work to do still

It is confusing, because they don't specify that although it might be ABLE to be used in more than one category, it can't be USED in more than one category. Sociology can be used in Knowledge of Human Cultures, Gen Ed electives, and free electives - but it's best use is to stick it in the Diversity requirement. Then, it's used up and can't be used anywhere else.

You might have noticed in the first spreadsheet, I had noted a few courses that are apart of Gen Ed that one can test out of. I did this just to have some extra options. Because of that, I can apply them into the slots that I was overlapping courses in. The only thing is, I would really like to avoid chemistry. Does anyone know if I can test out of any of the following courses: EAS-101: General Earth Science - EAS-131: Elements of Meteorology - GEO-151: Physical Geology
As you can tell, I like earth/natural sciences.
There is a Nas-101 Natural Sciences 1 CLEP test, I wonder if that would transfer in as anything...
Testing out of a computer course would probably be more enjoyable then chemistry also..
I did find SL: "Into to Nutrition" transfers as TESU: BIO-208 "The Science of Nutrition" If none of the fun earth sciences work out, I'll probably just go with that.
(On a side note, I accidentally put the cornerstone course as 3 credits, I realize it's 1 credit).

You seem to be stuck on chemistry for some reason. For the Natural Sciences, you can take just about ANY science course. You don't have to only go from the list that TESU has, because they are only listing their own courses. You can transfer in ANY science course there. Natural Sciences CLEP will work, and give you 6cr to boot. Saylor has a number of science courses that will work for $25 each. CLEP has several, and they are all worth 6cr. DSST has several. SL has a bunch. Study.com has a bunch (duplicating CLEP/DSST/UExcel). Just be aware that their Earth Science and Physical Geology duplicate each other. And that their science courses are all only worth 3cr, even if it's a former CLEP course like Biology.
Again, look at TESU's list as a guide, showing you the types of courses you need for each area. There is a LOT of flexibility within the different gen ed areas as to what you can take and where you can take the courses/exams from.

TESU is flexible when it comes to transfer credit. Anything that TESU considers to be college level will most likely transfer. It more depends on how TESU labels the courses (sociology, psychology, management etc.) TESU does have some requirements for gen ed (won't accept management courses, etc.) For CLEP and DSST exams TESU has a nice chart that shows how the course will transfer to TESU. Other exams it is sometimes more challenging to figure out how it will transfer. Excelsior credit by exam has Weather and Climate and Earth Science available as exams. For DSST, CLEP and Excelsior Exams you must use an approved testing center. ACE and NCCRS review various non-credit training programs and will recommend them for credit that TESU will sometimes accept. If you have completed any training programs, it might have been reviewed by ACE or NCCRS. Study.com offers most of the same courses as DSST, CLEP, Excelsior etc. but study.com does not require a testing center, there is online proctoring. Straighterline also offers gen ed courses. I believe they have environmental science. Straighterline does not require a test center, it also offers online proctoring.

Nice! That's great to know that there is a lot of flexibility! That's a relief because it would be nice to enjoy the courses and learn something of personal interest. Previously, I was matching courses offered by the sites swalke321 posted to the course list TESU has for Gen Ed. (And yes dfrecore, chemistry isn't my cup of tea - I know it would be a challenging area of study for me)
I can't thank you enough for all the help!
