I'd start with a course provider that you're interested in, and do some courses. Just don't do too many with Study.com, since I'm assuming you're going to want to use them for a lot of your UL coursework. Instead, maybe do Sophia, SL, Saylor, whatever - to do your GE. Start with what you HAVE to complete in the GE, and then go from there.
Why "don't do too many with study.com"?
Because there is a limit of 90 credits that you can transfer in from any specific provider. That basically means ~30 courses from Study.com. So make sure you don't end up taking more credits from SDC than you can use.

Because each school only takes a specific amount of transfer credits from each provider. I don’t know the amounts though. But that’s why you should mix it up.
