UMPI is another.
TESU doesn't have a 30 credit residency requirement, but they're also another.
So is Excelsior.
Charter Oak is also a B&M university.
It might help if you said why you're looking for this information.
In progress:
TESU - BA Computer Science; BSBA CIS; ASNSM Math & CS; ASBA

Pierpont - AAS BOG
Sophia (so many), The Institutes (old), Study.com (5 courses)

I have a nephew who will graduate high school in 2 years.

Charter Oak is also a B&M university. Yeah but within those, SNHU is the one that has the bigger campus and majors.
He doesn't know what he'll major in.
And we're not looking only for academics.
In person extracurricular activities, community, clubs, research ... are a must

For a person who is still in HS, AP and dual-enrollment options are going to be much better than Sophia/SL/SDC. Especially if you want an in-person experience.
AP, duel-enrollment, and CLEP are more widely accepted, in general, than DSSTs, Sophia, StraighterLine, Study.com, etc. More doors will be opened by taking advantage of AP/duel-enrollment while he still can.

There aren't any school I now of where I live that offers AP exams, Clep testing centers are inexistent and we don't have the money for dual enrollment

What state?
There are free duel enrollment classes at some schools, such as https://www.deanza.edu/admissions/dual/ They don't list any residency requirements there, that I can see. Their application/permission form even asks what state the student is located in. So, I don't think there are any restrictions. But I could be mistaken.
There is also a big list here: https://homeschoolingforcollegecredit.co...ment-list/ At $25/credit or $100/course, the prices for duel enrollment can rival Study.com and StraighterLine. Amazon offers extremely cheap textbooks, either used or as a rental, so costs there should also be low. Unless an access code is required, but just avoid those classes.
Take advantage of the free/cheap duel enrollment while possible!

Me personally I appreciate the fact that UMPI and TESU are state public universities. Although probably not as many majors and extracurricular’s as SNHU

If one goes in person to UMPI, there are significantly more majors/degree programs than are available in YourPace. Extracurriculars, though, I don't know.
