I've been reading this forum for a few days. I think I understand the concept of piecing together a degree. Please let me know if I'm understanding this correctly. First, I should do my online work like Sophia, Study.com, Davar, Coursera. Then I should enroll in TESU. Maybe just sign up for the 1 credit TECEP, even if I never take it. That entitles me to (unlimited?) transcript evaluations. I absolutely need to do the cornerstone (is this the Information Literacy?) and the capstone at TESU. If I don't do a minimum of 15 credits at TESU, I'm charged a fee, so it makes sense to just take the 15 credits there. E-packs satisfy that requirement. Once my transcript has been evaluated, then do my semester at TESU so I absolutely know what is required of me to graduate. 

Is all of that correct?

Welcome to the board, great post with the addendum and template! You've got most of the info you need, but you really should change that BSOL to BSBA for several reasons I've mentioned before.

BSBA has ACBSP programmatic/secondary accreditation and easier transfer credits using the ACE/NCCRS classes, you can decide on the AOS such as Operations Management instead, you have enough RA for max transfer and need to complete the 15 residency credits using the flat rate.

Apply, send all transcripts, wait for evaluation... while waiting, create a spreadsheet once you have all that info, then link us to your Google/One drive, make the file viewable (not editable) and we can give comments on what recommendations we have.
