I see the US History II, Western Civ. II and Organization Behavior courses are now available on the Straighterline website but I don't see them as ACE approved and I don't see the TESC partner page updated to show transfer credit.
Anyone know if and when they will be ACE approved? Will TESC take them without being ACE approved?

Usually that means ACE has not updated the list. That's good news though. ACE will update very soon.

And Business Ethics, which was also part of the set of new courses they were recently beta-testing.

I forgot what new course, but before they just released it, I emailed Christine from Straighterline and she told me it was because ACE hasn't updated the list. Next couple of days it was definitely on the ACE List.

Business Ethics would be great if I somehow fail my DSST!

Historically, Straighterline will beta-test new courses with previous customers invited. Once this process is complete, they apply for ACE-evaluation.
Personally, I wouldn't necessarily take an SL course (unless it was for free!) without ACE-approval. However, given Straigherline's excellent history, if they state that ACE has approved the course, I would certainly believe them.
edit: Just read this over and 'customers' really makes education sound like a business. In that case, SL wins on both fronts. On the other hand, makes a bachelors seem even more required and also that education can be somehow purchased :/
