There is a max though, no matter the degree, and that's 90cr from any single source.  So you could do up to 90cr of Shmoop courses, but the rest would have to be done elsewhere.

If you tell me your degree and what courses you've already taken, I can map out a plan for you, using as much Shmoop as possible.

Hello, yes, I am planning on going for a BALS. It's disheartening to hear about the 90cr max, but at least I now know and can plan accordingly. More than likely I'll try to use Shmoop for as much courses as possible (probably majority of the UL courses) and try to CLEP out of the rest using InstantCert (whatever Shmoop doesn't cover/gen eds as I feel they might be easier to CLEP).

Here is a list of courses I have taken at College and grades... hopefully this will help in trying to map a plan for me but maybe not:

1st Semester
----------
113 Old Testament History - 3credits - C
123 Composition 1 - 3 - C
102 Introduction Missions - 2 - C
101 Fitness For Life - 1 - F
102 Foundations for Life - 2 - A-
112 Foundations of Theology - 2 - C

2nd Semester
----------
123 New Testament History - 3credits - B-
112 Strategies for Disciples - 2 - A-
243 Church Reformation - 3 - C
132 Music in Church - 2 - D-
122 Church History and Polity - 2 - B-
113 Personal and Social Adjustment - 3 - B

3rd Semester
---------
102 Public Speaking - 2 - B
103 Western Civilization 1 - 3 - D
203 College Algebra - 3 - F
293 Cultural Anthropology - 3 - D

4th Semester
---------
143 Pentateuch - 3 - D
243 Hermeneutics 1 - 3 - B
203 Composition II - 3 - F
342 Personal Finance in Church - 2 - B-
2053 Biblical Theology - 3 - B-

5th Semester
--------
102 Study Skills - 1 - F
112 Introduction to Psychology - 3 - A-
210 Statistics for Behavioral Sciences - 3 - D+

I have attached an excel doc that davewill made for me which factored my GPA in terms of TESU. Maybe this will help.

Also, I have taken the Institutes Ethics course and was taking ALEKS, but have since had that refunded due to it not being renewed. I just signed up for Shmoop and paid for one month. I can take as many courses as needed this month as I currently have a month of free time to focus just on Shmoop.
