You can get some cheap ones from places like TEL, ASU, and Olivet but they'll still cost more than SDC and Sophia.
That said, you will need to create an account at YourAcclaim.com to send the Sophia credits and SDC will allow you to send a transcript to a school right from their dashboard.
Thank you @Rachel83az! I will set this up ASAP. I've heard of TEL, ASU, but not Olivet, so I'll have to do some research. Can I be enrolled at these different places at one time just to be able to transfer the credits or should I just choose one of them?

UofF will ask to see where the credits came from, and you'll have to send ACE/Acclaim/NCCRS transcripts to them, which they won't accept.
Instead, you need to find out how to get into UofF, and do that in the cheapest way possible. It's probably going to mean TEL, Outlier, EA/ASU, ONU courses.
I'd never heard of laundering credits til this thread. It is an interesting concept. I just assumed I needed to take classes for credits and then send them somewhere, but this whole college thing is much more complex than I realized. With the help of good people like you, though, I am beginning to put the pieces together. So if I got an AA degree through TESU or Charter Oak, through a mix of Sophia/SDC and actual TESU/charter Oak courses, most universities wouldn't accept the AA degree for entry into a bachelor's program?
ps. Thank you for your kindness and taking the time to answer this.
