Changing everything, advice?

[TMW2010]

Hi All,
I'm fairly new here in the forums(2-3 months). I also physically moved recently. I had a plan in place and a list of tests to take to get my Associates from my old community college, then find a 4 year locally to continue toward a Bachelors. Unfortunately I just found out that my old college will not evaluate the 2 tests I just took or the 5 I am planning because I am not currently registered for classes. Because I have moved, tuition rose from $377 to $1390 for 1 class. This is too much money for me to register just so that they will apply the remaining credits I need for a degree. (I have already met the 15 credit in-school requirement so this 1 extra class is really extra)

I become eligible for in-state tuition in my new home Summer 2011. I was thinking of taking as many tests as possible between now and then and just applying everything toward a Bachelor's and skipping the Associates, but without a college picked, I am not sure what to do. I don't want to waste tests that might not apply.
I live in California now which apparently has a fantastic in-state tuition rate, which is why I have not yet considered a fully online school. Does anyone know where I go from here? Should I pick a college first, and if I do, will an advisor help me even if I don't plan to register until I am "in-state" eligible? Is there some kind of generic Liberal Arts degree requirement plan somewhere that I can work from?
BTW, I know that I will have to complete probably 30 credits at the school I pick. That is not a problem because I actually like taking classes, and will pick some that I feel I need the full instruction in.
Any comments, advice appreciated. Thanks!

I'd take a look around at a couple of the schools in your area, and get an idea of what tests they will and won't accept, and how many max credits from testing that they take. Also, this'll give you an opportunity to figure out what program is going to be the one you want to go through, and help with your school choice.

I'd doubt that there's going to be a general degree plan that will work across various schools, but the using the information that you find out from the schools, you can start planning which tests will be accepted and work on getting those out of the way, so that when you enroll, you can have you transcripts shipped over to the school of your choice.
