1) How does WGU handle ACE credits? I couldn't find any transfer-related-information regarding either SL or ACE credits in general on the WGU site.
SL has a partnership with WGU - their site lists which classes transfer in for what, and it's guaranteed. You can transfer your SL classes, for free, directly from SL's site to WGU with one mouse click. I'd definitely also put all courses on your ACE transcript, but if SL is the only ACE credit source you're using, you don't need to pay to send the ACE transcript. SL also offers a $200 tuition discount to WGU if you take 4 or more courses with them.
2) Will WGU accept ACE transfer credits after enrollment?
You need to transfer everything in prior to formally enrolling.
3) How would one submit the transcript with ACE credit to WGU?
As I said above, you can use SL's dashboard to send WGU your credits. If you prefer to send ACE, their site is easy to navigate and you can electronically send your transcript that way as well.
All the courses you listed should transfer as you expect, but SL's Philosophy course will transfer in as the Humanities requirement, not the critical thinking requirement. I have read that that particular class can be completed very quickly at WGU - a day or two if you spend some time working on it.
My signature shows the courses my son has completed to transfer for his WGU business degree - it might be helpful to have a look.
