If you pass a Study.com class to be eligible for the TESU partnership discounts, you get the discount on the Capstone ($1098 instead of ~$1500), you waive the Lifelong Learning course requirement, and it discounts the residency fee. But that partnership ends in a few months and most people expect that the terms after that will not be as good.
Depending on how your evaluation comes in, you can either apply for the scholarship (6 free classes) or just pay for one month of College Accelerator (2 courses for $199) then pay $70 for an extra exam (for Public Speaking, if they offer it) and be done in a month.
I looked into this. It doesn't look like the Finance options at Study.com will transfer to what TESU is looking for for the Principles of Finance.
Also, what they (study.com) are calling College Algebra is more like Intermediate Algebra. When I looked at how it transfers I was right. You have to do their Precalculus to get the college algebra. I've seen this other places too where what is being called College Algebra is really basic or intermediate at best. So if anyone is trying to take a class make sure it's actually college algebra.

I'd have to do Principles of Finance as a DSST I guess. But for the Algebra and Public Speaking might be able to do Study.com. I wouldn't qualify for the scholarship unfortunately. You need to have 30 semester hours left, I don't have anywhere near that.
I guess I'll use a MOOC and Khan academy to get a refresher on the math and find out what the public speaking is about before I register to study.com. Not going to pay for that twice, might as well be prepared.
