1) RA - Regionally Accredited, that means community college/universities that are accredited by agencies deemed acceptable by TESU
2) 114 credits can be transferred by any 4 year college or university, meaning you can transfer in everything except 2 courses

If you read the second indented space, it says you only need to take two courses from them, the SOS 110 and the capstone.  Those two are the only required courses, everything else can be transferred in, and you have a max of 90 non RA credits, but it has to come from approved providers.

There is a difference between a community college (generally only grants Associates degrees) and a 4 year college or university. Also, those two transfer numbers are not cumulative, they are separate numbers.

You can transfer in unlimited community college credits, but only 90 can apply to a bachelors degree.
You can transfer in unlimited alternative credit, but only 90 can apply to a bachelors degree.
You can transfer in unlimited 4-year college credit, and all of it can apply to a bachelors degree.

RA means regionally accredited. It's means that the college/university is accredited by one of the regional accreditors in the United States recognized by the department of education.

Compare with:
1. Nationally accredited, which means that it's accredited by a national organization (that's still recognized by the department of education)
2. Programmatic accreditation, which means one or more of their degrees/majors has been certified by a professional body in that arena
3. Licensed, which generally means the state gives them license to operate
4. Unaccredited, which means it's just someone starting up a school.

90 credits can be from alternate sources.

24 credits must come from an RA source. This includes TECEPs, UExcels, TEL Learning, Olivet Nazarene University, and so on.

bjcheung 77 did an excellent write-up on how to maximize your Pell Grant. The thread is here: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-TESU-Residency-Waiver-vs-Taking-Courses

TESU advisors generally know nothing compared to those of us who have been around for a while. They, unfortunately, often give incorrect or outdated information. They are especially unhelpful if you are not a fully enrolled student and are only a prospective or applicant student.

Here is apparently my final eval. It is good to have you guys to figure this all out. Of course, you need to enlarge it because I am sure you have seen TESU's presentation.

I haven't seen it myself yet. They didn't listen to me. Clearly. I have taken Statistics and now taking Business Law. I finished Accounting a few days ago and Micro and Macro Economics is completed.

I took the courses from Teex but I do not see where I was given credit.

Online for Everyone – Non-Technical - Cyber 101 (3) TEEX
Online for IT Professionals - Cyber 201 (3) TEEX
Online for Business Professionals - Cyber 301 (4) TEEX

Did you submit the Sophia courses on the credily transcript? If so was the TEEX courses on there?

You have a few different options for RA credits. You can go through TEL Learning, ONU, or a local community college. Personally, I would just take some TECEPs. Managerial Accounting, Principles of Management, Principles of Marketing, and 3 more LL ones to fill up your GEs and Electives. If you care about hitting 16 credits to avoid the residency waiver, 1 or more of those can be taken as E-packs instead.
