@bjcheung77 thanks for your response. So that means I already have enough RA credits? I already have a mixture of ACE and CC credits. I plan on using Sophia and Study to get most of the remaining credits. And what 15 credits are best to get at TESU to avoid the residency fee?

Yes, you do. The only credits you need that you can't get from ACE providers are the cornerstone and capstone. If you're only doing the BACS, you can even get the cornerstone from EdX, leaving only the capstone to be taken at TESU. Now, some people go ahead and take 15cr in a single term so that they don't have to pay the residency waiver fee. It turns out that paying for a "Fixed Price Full Term" is cheaper than paying for the cornerstone/capstone+residency waiver. It's even cheaper than the EdX option. However, if you're more interested in speed and ease than cost, the residency waiver is the way to go.

In your case, tuition reimbursement will almost certainly pay for the Full Term option, but probably not the residency waiver. It also probably won't pay for ACE providers or EdX. However, 15cr is a lot to get through in 12 weeks, especially if you're trying to do CS area of study courses and not just picking the courses for ease of effort, like a lot of folks do. One thing to remember is that you can extend the term for a course for a couple hundred bucks. I recommend keeping that in mind for the capstone if you find that you're getting overwhelmed. It's better to to let the schedule slip (with instructor approval) than let your grade slip.

My recommendation is that you do the Full Term option, taking the corner/capstone and three "easy" ePack courses. E-Pack are self-study courses you work through on your own time. These will be courses that fulfill either GenEds or electives. Take everything else at Sophia and Study.com. If you feel that your CS knowledge will let you easily handle taking one or more CS courses instead of the easy ones, you can do that, instead.

BTW, your PE class will totally transfer. There is a limit, but my electives included Racquetball.

@davewill Thanks for your response.  For context, I plan to obtain a double major in CS and CIS. So for the 15 credits at TESU, the cornerstone and two capstones count as 3 classes, meaning I'd have to pick two more? I'm thinking CIS 107, CIS 351, and ART 1000 to be safe.
