SDC = Study.com

Of those 114 credits, TESU allows a max of 80 credits from 2-year community colleges and a max of 90 credits from any single ACE/NCCRS provider, but has no limits on the number of credits transferred in from regionally accredited 4-year colleges.
Question to clarify: Regarding 'a max of 90 credits from any single ACE/NCCRS provider', I'm unsure like OP on what this means. I have CLEP/DSST credit and also intend to take study.com/sophia/saylor/etc to transfer in as many credits as I can. By going this route, is my max transfer credits from all of these sources combined ONLY 90? Or can I transfer up to 114 as long as each company I work with isn't more than 90 credits?
TESU student services was giving me very confusing answers when I just inquired.
It doesn't surprise me that you got confusing answers. It is actually not in TESU's best interest to support students trying to transfer in non-traditional credit since it is their job to get students to take courses from TESU directly. There is not a lot of internal support or training on it, so you often get confusing, noncommital, or just plain wrong information from TESU support since often times they are just guessing on answers. However, in this case they should know the answer since it is in the student catalog.
In any case, 90 credits from any single ACE/NCCRS provider means you can transfer in as many credits from ACE or NCCRS as you like, but no more than 90 credits from a single credit provider will be evaluated towards a specific degree at TESU. ACE credit providers include Study.com, StraighterLine, Sophia, and CLEP. So as long as you don't intend to use more than 90 credits from Sophia (for example), you're ok. But you can cumulatively have more than 90 credits between Sophia, SDC, and CLEP.
Hopefully, that clarifies things a bit.
Working on: Debating whether I want to pursue a doctoral program or maybe another master's degree in 2022-23
