They have done things like this before.
1) I distinctly remember when they said they would no longer accept Strategic Management being transferred in for the Business Capstone course. There was a cutoff date, and I think they told everyone in advance, rather than after the fact (so you had a couple of days/weeks to sign up for the Penn Foster course).
2) They decided not to accept Shmoop after the fact, and just announced it via email at some point.
I would push back on this. The website is very clear on this:

Residency Requirement
Students who select the Per Credit Tuition Plan (excluding those who enroll under a military plan) with the intention of earning an associates or bachelor’s degree from Thomas Edison State University must complete 16 credits via Thomas Edison State University Online (OL), Guided Study (GS) or e-Pack (EP) courses. This requirement may be waived by paying the Residency Waiver fee.
TES-100 Cornerstone: Lifelong Learning Strategies course: As of May 25, 2016, new students are required to complete TES-100, a one-credit online course designed to assess their readiness in areas relevant to student success.
Newly enrolled students will be automatically registered for this course, which will appear in new students’ registration results. One-time tuition for the course is $300 (not included in the Per Credit Tuition Plan).
Page 17 of the catalog is where you'd want to direct her to.

It should be the controlling document as they apparently haven't published one to supercede it. It only mentions TES-100 as a required cornerstone course. In fact, it doesn't even say that SOS-110 may be taken instead.
