For international students, if I transfer in 120 credits and I choose the enrollment tuition fee option $3k+, will I still need to take the 30 credits (see TESC quote below for bachelor)? This is a bit confusting on TESC site under international student policies. Can any international student clarify this and what they had to do regarding this policy
"TESC - International Student Policies
American-Earned Credits
International students with college-level learning assessed from another country must complete at least 30 additional U.S. college credits and meet all the area of study or concentration degree requirements to obtain a Thomas Edison State College bachelorâs degree, and at least 15 additional U.S. college credits to earn an associate degree. All other conditions that apply to local students will apply to international students as well."

I think it means you can transfer in 90 international credits and you need 30 US credits for the full 120.

You can transfer in as many foreign credits as you want, but TESC won't give you anything until you have at least 30 US credits.

To fulfill the 30 credits requirement, I would suggest taking at least 24 TESC credits to utilize the cheaper Per Credit tuition plan. These credits need not apply to your area of study. You may complete 8 TECEPs or, if you wish to have a GPA listed on your transcript, 7 TECEPs and 1 online course.
For the remaining 6 credits, use the free TEEX Cybersecurity courses ( TEEX Cybersecurity - CYB101, CYB201, and CYB301). The only cost involved for these 6 credits would be the $40 payable to ACE for an account and complimentary transcript.

The other alternative is that you consider Excelsior which I believe will let you transfer up to 117 credits with an enrollment cost of around $1500 you'll then need to take a capstone for your degree and pay for graduation which may be another option. The real question is why would you transfer in 120 foreign credits since a foreign degree is recognized through an evaluation service unless you haven't completed your degree in another country. Are you currently living outside of the United States?
Don't forget that gaining college credit by taking exams is one of the reason's we're here. That's mainly possible through the flashcards made available by the owner of this forum : InstantCert Plus of course your hard work in learning and reviewing

Is that for general studies only? Also do you know how many 100 US level courses they will accept?

Athabasca also requires 45 of those to be UL credits and accepts very few non-traditional credit sources. (once upon a time, they gave me 30 credits for my commercial pilot license, but they don't even do that anymore) I had a bunch of 300-level courses from a Big Ten school that were only recognized as 200-level courses, so it's probably pretty hard to even get 45 UL credits through the Registrar's Office.

Only 6, although many 100-level courses will transfer in as 200-level courses. 100-level at Athabasca is considered "pre-university" level, such as beginner-level French, remedial English and other preparatory courses. Math below the Calculus/Intro Stats/Linear Algebra level is generally considered high school level in Canada and it doesn't even count for credit at Athabasca.
