So unless the new school you're planning to attend accepts SL directly (or via ACE) there isn't any way to launder those credits to make them appear as if they came from the partner school.
Albany State is a new partner of SL (and they do provide letter grades, bringing the schools to 5) so they may be like FH where they did not transcribe Straighterline as the source, but Albany State only issues letter grades for a handful of classes anyway (Math 101, Eng 101 & 102, Psych 101, Western Civ I, Intro to Sociology, and US History I.) If you need one of those classes, you might give it a shot and see what happens. So far nobody else has done it, or at least none that have posted in these forums to verify one way or the other.
And, to add salt to the wound, if any of those schools successfully launder the credit, it won't come into your EC transcript as a letter grade- it'll be a transfer credit (no grade). BUT, if you can get a letter grade to appear on another college's transcript, simply use that. In other words, if you need pharmacology and could find a college that would give you a letter grade for it, then don't do anything with EC. Just enroll at the new college. I have a feeling this is going to be more trouble than it's worth.
PS I already think you answered this before, but are you trying to get credit for a class you teach? You can do that at TESC.
