Over 250 quarter units and NO DEGREE

Even with maximum credit transfer 2-3 months might not be a month.  Might be more like 4-6 months.  It depends on when you can start and complete the capstone and which graduation date works.  

Apply for TESU now and start sending your transcripts.  (and by know, I mine right now)
Start reviewing this forum for feedback on the Liberal Arts capstone.
Register for the capstone as soon as you can.
Wrap up the two CJ courses you are enrolled in.  The look like they are UL and you will need those.
Once your eval comes back, it can take a month, find courses to fill the gaps.

In addition to the timeline, I see two other potential issues:

I'm not sure if you will have enough UL credit.  It could be close depending on how TESU evaluates your courses.  You may want to look for a couple of options just in case.  With your CJ course work, DSST Substance Abuse may be one option.  Study.com Juvenile Justice is evaluationed as UL by ACE, but the TESU course is LL, so not sure how that will come in.

The second is that you are currently enrolled in 4 courses and I assume working.  Can you handle the capstone and other possible requirements with your accelerated timeframe?

We posted at the same time.  I see that you already applied, that is good.

Can you provide more details on your POST trainings?  I'm not familiar with them.  You may need to do PLA which is time consuming, but it is possible that they have already been evaluated by TESU and will automatically get credit.

This forum is amazing. I am starting to have hope! 

The courses I am currently working on are for a Certificate in Crime Analysis with the California Department of Justice. I am super focused on ensuring I complete that program as while it is not a requirement for the promotion I seek, it would give me a HUGE leg up. I work full time, but my schedule is compressed to 4 days a week. That means I have 3 days a week to fully commit to any course available. Two of the courses I am enrolled require weekend attendance and require only a few weekends to complete. I have the ability to take a few weeks off for vacation and plan to use them wisely in focusing on completing a degree.

The majority of upper division work I have completed was in biology. I am looking now into the how to gain any extra UL credits quickly.

TESU only has 4 graduation deadlines a year. You could aim to apply for June graduation on April 1st. Worst case, they push you to 3 months later.

Are you trying to deny that plants have feelings and deserve validation?

Graduating in June would actually work!
