And aside from TEEX, any other free or easy courses to knock our 5 AOS Lower Level for BALS? 

Thanks

The current Corona situation isn't helping either and I recall there aren't any test centers near you anyways, so the only option is doing everything online with a company that doesn't use ProctorU, you can go for the ones that use RPNow instead as those don't have a physical person looking at you.  So, skip StraighterLine and whoever else that uses ProctorU...

Your only options for RPNow are Coopersmith, Davar, Study.com and if you're missing some Lower Levels that aren't offered by Sophia.org, you can go for Onlinedegree.com (if you're in the USA, if not, skip them).

Update: Oh yeah Leslie, I remember you're not in the USA, so I didn't ask you last time, if you know a language or two that's not English, you can complete all your Upper Level with just two exams.  They just extended their ACE recommendation until 6/30/2020 and their online testing or over the phone. 

I know you're going to love this as it's not really proctored, you just use a PC or the phone and call the subject matter expert.  For example, if you know two Romance languages such as French, Spanish, you can get your entire AOS completed if you score an advanced/superior level.  Moreover, each exam is $105 for a max of 12 credits, or $210 for 24 credits!

The cost at COSC is cheaper, but more UL.

For COSC and EC, you have to plan out your concentrations/depths more, with TESU it's easier to do.

COSC and EC have BSLS/BSLA degrees, which means that 60cr can be non-liberal-arts courses, making it easier to bring in those cheap business courses or other things that aren't liberal arts (police, firefighter, etc.).

It really depends on the overall budget and what credits she has as to which I'd choose.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

COSC costs for application fee, cornerstone, capstone, student services fee (2 terms), technology fee (2 terms), and graduation fee w/10% discount through SL or Study.com - $3,181

TESU costs for application fee, cornerstone, capstone, residency waiver, and graduation fee w/study.com affiliate discount $5,422

EC costs for Enrollment fee, Info Lit course, Cornerstone, Capstone, Technology fees, and graduation fee w/SL or Study.com partnership which removes Application fee $5,430
