Welcome to the board! Great post, I suggest you do the quick review of other institutions before deciding on TESU. Wow, what an awesome budget... you've got Fin Aid and Guild! You get Sophia.org and Study.com for free! There are other institutions other than TESU that offer BSIT, you may want to evaluate and find a better institution as this seems to be all paid for! Here's a thread you want to review... https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...-Education

Thanks! I did a pretty extensive review of the top 3 - top 5 schools on here and I have attended SNHU and did not like it and TESU does seem like my best option for transferring as many courses from Sophia for IT Degree.

Basically... Outlier.org, Sophia.org, Study.com, StraighterLine, etc are great options you've got for alternative credits, but you still need to make sure you've got the RA credits, you need at least 30 of those, 15 should come from TESU, the rest from community college, or TECEPs, etc. Essentially... You can see if the Outlier.org classes that are on a partner transcript will work for RA when transferred into TESU, if they treat it that way, you can skip RA and take the Outlier.org classes until you hit the 15 credit residency requirements.
