Also, I just got a reply from TESU saying they don't need a copy of my GED, so how does the admissions process go? Just apply and start?

Yes, apply, do the TECEP thing, and send in your CLEP and DSST scores. While you're waiting for them to be evaluated, you can start working on Sophia. Everything except College Readiness and Foundations; plus see notes below:

CLEP:

• CLEP College Composition  - Was this essay required or modular? If it was modular, you still need English Comp II at Sophia. If it was essay, skip all Sophia English Comp
  
• CLEP Introductory Sociology  - Duplicates Sophia Sociology. Skip.
  
• CLEP Analyzing and Interpreting Literature  - Does not duplicate Sophia
  
• CLEP Introduction to Educational Psychology  - Does not duplicate Sophia
  
• CLEP Introductory of Psychology  - Duplicates Sophia Psychology. Skip.
  
• CLEP Principles of Management  - Does not duplicate Sophia
  
• CLEP Information Systems  - Does not duplicate Sophia's IT class. Take intro to IT.
  
• CLEP Principles of Marketing  - Does not duplicate Sophia
  
• CLEP Human Growth and Development  - Does not duplicate Sophia
  

DSST:

• DSST Fundamentals of Counseling  - Does not duplicate Sophia
  
• DSST Ethics in Technology  - Does not duplicate Sophia Ethics; can definitely skip Sophia Ethics, though.
  
• DSST Substance Abuse  - Does not duplicate Sophia
  
• DSST Introduction to Business  - Duplicates Sophia Introduction to Business. Skip

• DSST Intro to World Religions  - Does not duplicate Sophia's Approaches to Studying Religions

 Thank you!! 

I just dropped the Accounting course cause I was hoping I could take it later.. now I realize I can't add it back to active courses on my end, will contacting Sophia make it possible to bring it back?

I already sent a message to them but it's the weekend now so no one there will respond and I'm a little anxious about this..

Question- I just noticed that out of the list of CLEPS I took, a few of them have been renewed on ACE after my testing date. Would this mean TESU won't accept my CLEP scores for credit?

TESU will take the CLEP's, and they are able to see what ACE-recommended credits were at the time you took them.  So for something that may have been downgraded since you took it, you'll actually probably get the old amount of credits.  If something was UL when you took it but no longer is, that would also probably come in as the old recommendation.

That's a relief, thank you! I'm working on sending my transcripts over now, will apply within the next month.
