Like Dfrecore said, it will only go into Free Electives , but still get it done ASAP so you don't run the risk of overlapping months on tests. They changed the way they give tests, they say 2 a month but really its only after 30 days. So say you take Personal Finance today 12/20 and then the next course on 12/27. Your next test wont be available until 1/20 and the next on 1/27, then 2/20 and 2/27. So the quicker you get the first two done the better.
I'm on my last two courses from the scholarship and my next tests are available 1/3 and 1/18. Good Luck. The courses I have taken from Study.com have all been pretty fun except Applied Managerial Accounting, you basically have to do all the reading very little videos. If you do need an UL Accounting course I suggest Advanced Accounting I , it was enjoyable and not to difficult ( I already had Accounting I (Financial Accounting) done)

Thanks for the info guys, I've spent the past two days working on knocking the course out and so far I'd say the Personal Finance course is very easy.
But to be clear, The Practice Chapter exams count towards the overall grade, correct? I've been making sure to get 100% on each, including all of the small quizzes as well.

Yes, the quiz grades do count towards the total final grade. Keep up the good work!

Has anyone taken any of these, and if so, which would you recommend for UL credit?
- BUS 106: Human Resource Management
- BUS 306: Strategic Human Resource Management
- Organizational Behavior
- Business Communication

My son just took HR Management, and the thing with that course is that it requires 4 essays. He is taking Business 308 now (global business) and for some reason, that only requires 1 essay which is the same length as each of the four essays for HR Management - the essay was also from what I could tell much easier to put together. In addition, it has fewer lessons. I know you didn't include 308 in your list, but I wanted to mention that one because it just seems a lot simpler than 106.
Here Researching for my son, who has done the following:
Community College: Intro to Philosophy, Fundamentals of IT, English Comp 1
Saylor: Intro to Business, Principles of Marketing, Corporate Communication
Shmoop: US History 2 (WGU won't accept this)
ALEKS: Int. Algebra, College Algebra

Thanks for the information! I actually plan on taking BUS 308 as well, so it's good to know what to expect. Also Principles of Finance, so that leaves me with one more exam opening with the scholarship (assuming I pass all of them, and in a timely manner). Trying to lay it all out so I can organize what I have to get done and have it figured out ahead of time. The exam limits and timing really throws you off.

Indeed. My son is just finishing his guardian scholarship with them and had about 9 days to complete one last course. He started Project Management, but the project is a 20 slide powerpoint presentation. I noticed Adv Operations Management had an 800 word essay requirement and about 30 or 35 fewer lessons, so I suggested he just do that one now, and maybe do the Project Management course down the road with a paid month. The nice thing about that plan is that he can actually work on the powerpoint presentation before signing up for another month, and that way he'll have that big chunk of work already completed. He struggled with Principles of Finance, but I think that's due to his inexperience - he's only 17 - but that course has no projects - just the quizzes and final. If you want to take Global Business, my suggestion would be to go ahead and look at the essay assignments ahead of time and start working on those while completing other courses - you really don't need to go through the whole course to write them, just a few lessons which the essays are based on. I wish I'd have known to advise my son to do it that way so he wouldn't have had to cram 4 essays into a one week time frame.

Thanks so much!! This information is really great to know, very helpful. I just finished Personal Finance so I'm ready to take on the others.
