I know I am cutting corners here of contacting TESU directly. It's a Pass/Fail challenge exam. Will TESU accepts the courses if it is from an RA school?
$50/exam which must be scheduled with the schools faculty member. Nothing much on the GenEd but I have my eyes on those Math courses.

Look on your official transcript. Is it "above the line" (transfer credit) or "below the line" credit (community college credit). If below the line it should be OK.

TESU doesn't care about above or below the line, and I don't think the OP has taken the challenge exams yet. CSU Global CBEs are non-resident credits (treated as transfer credits) at CSU Global, but TESU still accepts them. CSU Global CBEs are challenge exams. TESU just needs to know that the transcript is from the school where the course/test was taken. For example, you can't take a challenge exam at one school, have them placed on a credit bank at Excelsior, and then try to transfer the credits to TESU.
If a date of completion or semester of attendance is not on the transcript, then TESU will need documentation sent directly from the school indicating when you completed the exam. The transcript also needs to have a course code, and you might have to link to or send TESU an electronic copy of the school's catalog so that TESU has a course description.

No idea about above/below the line. I don't understand.
I've already contacted the advisor and was told that I need to have a student ID so that I can take challenge exams. They have issues accepting in credits if it is from another school(challenge ecam) but no issues at all as far are the credits transferring out. I was advised to get something in writing from TESU if the school will accept those credits.
I already have a syllabus of the exams I plan to take. Is that something I can also use for TESU to accept the credit?

First of all, great find- that's the first time I've seen such a nice option so well laid out on a CC website. Most the of the challenge exams are train wrecks done on the fly if a student requests it.
For $50, are you willing to roll the dice? Honestly, if these do transfer into TESC, this would be a great option for saving $$. I can't recall seeing a policy saying you can't transfer in challenge exams, however, if I were a betting man, my money would be on "yes" because these are not PLAs and they are not portfolio (which colleges can sometimes restrict) and also yes because TESU doesn't restrict CBE in their own school. I'm not certain, but I think it's worth trying.
Additionally, I see they let you complete 50% of your AA with them via challenge exams- also a deal!
<<I was advised to get something in writing from TESU if the school will accept those credits. I already have a syllabus of the exams I plan to take. Is that something I can also use for TESU to accept the credit?>>
You're going to blow 3 months trying to chase that down. TESU isn't going to guarantee you transfer credit of THOSE credits specifically, especially if you're not enrolled. Also, the CC of course wants you to get something in writing - CYA. A faster approach- challenge 1 class, pass the test, send your transcript and or application to TESU and get an evaluation. Much faster.

It looks like all those challenge exams can only be completed in person at the various campuses for that college. I don't see any options for remote testing.

Has anyone found a creative way of getting credit for these $20 Strayer challenge exams without having to enroll at Strayer?

I forgot to mention earlier that TESU accepted my PLA credit from Empire State College.
