Hi there!
When I was at COSC's June graduation ceremony, they did indeed have honors recognition, but this would not be an option unless you wanted to take a lot of classes at COSC. I was walking in the ceremony near someone who was particularly upset that she didn't qualify for honors because she transferred in most of her credits. According to her, you're only eligible if you take 30 or more credits at COSC.
I didn't particularly care about this one way or the other so I have no idea if what this person told me was true or not, but it kind of makes sense. I can see why a school with little to no residency requirement wouldn't hand out honors to just anyone.
From a resume perspective, no matter where you go to school or how you graduate, you can ALWAYS put your GPA on your resume if it makes sense. For example, if you graduate with a 4.0 and for whatever reason, you do not receive the recognition you want from your alma mater, it will look just as good to say "BSBA TESC 4.0 GPA"... or whatever would apply to your situation. Once you have some experience on your resume no one will really care anyhow unless you work in a very competitive or academic environment and if they're really all that particular about the details of your college education, CLEP and DSST on a transcript probably won't cut it anyhow.
HTH!
