Hey everyone.
I posted here a while ago asking for advice about universities and, following that, feedback regarding my degree plan.
I'm just over half way through my undergrad now (BA English - TESU). Thanks for all the help.

I need to grab 30 credits from Study.com. I've already checked their TESU equivalency info, so those should all go where I want them.
After that, I will need 12 credits from Coopersmith, but I've noticed that some of the wikis say to check with TESU advising (email) to make sure that any Coopersmith courses will transfer.
Once I've done that, I'll be 15 credits short of a degree. This will either be done in a 15-credit semester at TESU, or I might just do the cornerstone+capstone (and pay a hefty residency waiver) plus three electives through Sophia.
The second option is expensive, but probably safer for my GPA than speedrunning five courses while working part-time. I still haven't decided what to do.

I've been told not to involve TESU advisors in my degree planning (regarding ACE credits and the like) at all, ever.
On the other hand, apparently TESU sometimes makes policy changes around the 1st of January, and it might be worth having everything planned out on MyProgress (and confirmed) before that, just in case.
Question 1: Is emailing advising about the four Coopersmith courses I plan to take worth it, or should I just YOLO the courses and send a transcript?
Question 2: Is there any point in trying to get them to update my academic evaluation/MyProgress with all the Study.com and Coopersmith equivalencies? As in, is that likely to protect me (or hurt me) in any way?
---
TL/DR: I don't know how to approach (taking and) transferring in four Coopersmith courses:
a_ ENG-202: American Literature Survey: 1900 to Present
b_ [UL3] LIT-401: Medieval Hispano-Jewish Poetry
c_ ENG-211: Constructing and Writing Logical Arguments
d_ LIT-302: The Works of Arthur Miller
OR
d_ LIT-301: The Works of Herman Wouk
Should I ask (email) TESU Advising before taking them? I've seen them all recommended on the wiki, or successfully transferred by people on this forum.

If I know what all my SDC (and Coopersmith) equivalencies are, should I go ahead and ask TESU to plan in the TESU equivalents on my academic evaluation? (To have my remaining credits planned out, in written form, in case any policy changes arise.)
