Putting a Plan in Action, Final Input Requested

Also, as I am trying to work through this as quick as possible, how do the proctors work? I assume I need to schedule them for all the quizzes and finals in advance and they can't be taken whenever I would like? With 5-15 quizzes per course, feels like that will slow me down big time on Study.com & Straighterline?

The grad school will look at all your transcripts and calculate their own GPA. In your case, that would be TESU and your CC. Which means those four F's will drag your GPA down unless you retake them at the same school. It won't do any good (from a GPA point of view) to retake them as alternative credit or even at TESU. That said, there are many, many MBA programs out there, and if your GPA meets the minimum requirements, your GMAT is good, and you have decent work experience, a low GPA may not be a problem.

General advice to others: Never just quit without looking into the rules at your school. You can almost always avoid an "F" if you pay attention. Formally dropping a course will usually give you a "W" or a "WF" which either do nothing to your GPA or only become an "F" if you don't retake. If you have a medical or family crisis and it's too late for a "W", you can also usually request an incomplete, which gives you time to come back and finish the course later, usually without having to pay for tuition a second time or having to redo the work you've already completed. 

My daughter had to do that (request incompletes) with a semester at Berkeley. After she got better, she was able to finish her courses remotely (didn't have to move back to campus) without it costing us anything extra.
