Newbie looking for a little help

Your best bet is to check first with your CC to see if there's an Articulation Agreement with UNR, in which they will accept an AA/AS degree from TMCC, no questions asked, that will complete the first 60cr of the BA/BS you're seeking. If the answer is yes, then you should be good. If the answer is no, then you need to go to UNR and ask if they will accept the courses from SL on your TMCC transcript.

I do know that UNR accepts CLEP exams, as some DSST exams, so you definitely have that option. I might choose that over SL, just because it's a guarantee, and SL is not. They will take 60cr of testing, which is excellent.

College-Level Examination Program (CLEP General and Subject) - University of Nevada, Reno - Acalog ACMS
Dantes Subject Standardized Tests (DSST) - University of Nevada, Reno - Acalog ACMS

It's interesting to note the following:
They will only take the College Comp WITH Essay CLEP, and that you have to get a 64 to get 6cr (but if you score 50-63, you get 3cr).
They will take the College Comp Modular w/o Essay CLEP, and give you 3cr.
They will only take the General Chem CLEP if you take a Chem lab course as well. And it only counts as 3cr.
They will only take 5 DSST Exams (Anthropology, Business Math, Public Speaking, Stats, & Tech Writing).

Also, they specifically will only grant ACE credit for Military: Non-collegiate Prior Learning Experiences
