One final thought, it may be worth talking to TESU again about two other study.com courses if you use the DSST for the non western section but you still need a UL course fulfilled. There are two courses which study.com lists as 300 level classes (American civil Rights movement, and War & American society). Those have been long understood to be courses which will be transferred in as LL to TESU based on their transfer agreement. However, I did notice that the ACE website list both of those as upper level courses now... That was not always the case. I don't know if anyone has tried to push TESU since the change to UL, but I would wonder if it is possible to ask them to reevaluate since the previous study.com to tesu transfer agreement was most likely set up when those two study.com courses were still LL. It looks like the ACE credit evaluation was updated about a year and a half ago, but I can't find any recent threads since then where people tried to get TESU to accept either of those two classes as upper level to confirm if they were approved or denied.
They may take longer, but they're also RA credit which is required for TESU now. So that is something to consider. DSST isn't open everywhere either. ACE makes the suggestion on LL/UL. It's up to each individual school how they accept the credits. They don't go by what ACE recommends. Lots of schools disagree with the ACE rankings.
