I was wondering if It's acceptable to take a 500 level course in order to fulfill 300/400 level in Thomas Edison State University ?

Sure. If it's graduate-level, then it'll usually come in as UL.

The problem I can't see the schedule of 500/600 level classes; also I can't find them when I need to register to a class.

I'm guessing that you probably have to be enrolled as a grad student to see the 500 level courses in the enrollment window.

There really isn't much upside to using grad courses for an undergrad degree. Typically, schools will want you to be a grad student to allow you to enroll in grad courses. Even if you get past that hurdle because of your previous BA/BS, there are many grad schools that will not let you double dip on courses that counted towards your BA/BS. On top of that, you don't get to use the American Opportunity tax credit and financial aid programs designed for undergrads.

Yes, for sure you can do this.
The trick is finding a school that lets you enroll without being degree seeking. In my case, I looked long and hard for upper-level sciences in subjects I was interested in (mainly biology) and landed at Harvard's Continuing Ed program. Their courses are for graduate credit, no admissions requirements - it was a win. That won't work for everyone, but when it's hard to find 300/400, it may be a solution. I very much enjoyed my courses there!!
There are a small handful of schools that I know of, I'm sure there are tons- but if you're looking specifically at TESU, they have a formal program in place that allows you to do this called Bachelors to Master's Program. The idea here is that you'd continue on for a master's with TESU- that may not be exactly what you're looking to do, but I'll link you anyway. Good luck!
