Default credit question- maybe off topic

Here is my situation- My last 9 credits are almost over. This officially ends the requirements for my BA, and I have filed for graduation. (deadline July 1)

Here is my dilemma- I applied for "credit for courses taught" last year and was awarded 24 credits. As the year went on, I became eligible for 5 more credits- I filled out the paperwork, but my boss made some errors, and there were delays. Imagine how long it took me to find out. TESC emails me- I email my boss- he sends in the papers- TESC takes their sweet time opening their mail...holding it....loving it....oh yeah- anyway- then they get back to me to point out the error. Rinse, wash, repeat. This happened THREE times. (really) and so from March when I started until TODAY, I have stressed out over these 5 "extra" credits. I emailed TESC today because I have not noticed anything posted (My last communication with them was 5/13) and they tell me they NEVER GOT my paperwork

I don't need these credits for my degree- the only reason I wanted them is because on the off chance that I were to seek out an MBA in the future, these are hospitality management credits/business electives and would be on my transcript- these are potential pre-reqs and/or in hospitality that would bring my total in that major to 10cr, and there are no CLEP/DSST/TECEP in that major making "just test later if necessary" not an option.

I don't know of any other school that gives credit for courses taught, so if I walk away from TESC without these on my transcripts, I won't have these at all ever. If I try and get them added, this might delay my graduation.

Advice???
