Cheapest/Fastest way to get TESU transcript only for ACE credits without degree

There is some timing involved. You can apply anytime and send in your transcripts. That gets you applicant status, which is good for two transcript evaluations. Signing up for the TECEP gets you enrolled status (and unlimited transcript evals), however, you have to wait until the next term starts before your status changes, so depending on timing, you could wait over a month before that kicks in.

If you truly just have the one Credly transcript to send in, then applicant status may be sufficient, although it's possible that you might need to be enrolled to get an official transcript. Edit: Just checked and you do: https://www.tesu.edu/current-students/re...transcript

You don't want to apply as a non-matriculating student. You want to enroll as a degree seeking student. It doesn't matter whether you ever actually make any progress towards graduating. Visiting students pay a higher tuition rate and there may be other downsides.
