WGU - BSCC (BS in Cloud Computing)

If you're paying out of pocket

Yep, out of pocket, may do financial aid for the actual term(s) needed through WGU.

If you think you'll do financial aid then you may want to avoid paying out of pocket at all. You may be better off just enrolling at WGU and not doing anything else. As I mentioned before, it generally takes the same amount of time to do courses via WGU as with Study.com or StraighterLine. Plus to meet financial aid requirements, you'll need to take a minimum amount of credits per term anyway, so you might as well just do it all via WGU.

Ok, so going by the "certs included", should he go ahead and do all those certs and get credit for them while knocking out GE's before enrolling for the last 30 credits?

If you're not doing financial aid then sure. Those certs aren't cheap though. If you think you might do financial aid, then you should hold off and do them via WGU to save yourself some money since WGU will pay for them.

Also, it would be ok to apply now and send over transcripts from his DeVry degree (from 1989) and see what they will take?

If he took any courses that match against the degree requirements (including GE's) then you might as well. WGU wants to see all your transcripts anyway, so they'll probably insist on it. WGU accepts NA and RA credits as well as ACE, so there is no reason not to submit all transcripts.
