If you are already enrolled in LUO and have most of your classes done can you add external credits from sources like clep or SL, or would they have to have been transferred in at the beginning of your LUO journey?

I have a friend who has about one year left until she earns her BA in Biblical Counseling at LUO. She is considering putting her education on hold and getting a job while her husband finishes his degree. I would love to share with her how she could expedite her credits, but don't want to misinform her.

Thanks for any advice you have!

Yes.  I just transferred in my math and English over the summer, and I'm currently in my last two classes.  But I would recommend if one plans to do this, that one gets the courses approved for the degree plan first, just to be sure they'll count.  (StraighterLine's classes should already  have course equivalents, so you should have no trouble.  I had no issue with ALEKS Statistics via ACE, either.  But in my experience, ACE-approved classes don't all transfer in as what you'd expect, so it doesn't hurt to have the extra insurance of documentation saying they've already accepted the class.)  https://www.liberty.edu/academics/regist...?PID=27633

MNomadic, I'm pretty sure ICE credit won't transfer.  It would be up to the receiving institution, ultimately, but I doubt most places would take it.

I should add that I would consider myself quite knowledgeable about the Bible and the BIBL 104 ICE exam was not the slam-dunk I'd anticipated. I did pass it on the first go, but I wouldn't call it "easy."
