TESU does not accept Introduction to Religion.
U.S. History I is set to expire 4/30/20.
U.S. History II is set to expire 6/30/20.
Introduction to Information Technology is set to expire 06/30/20.
You'll need to complete these two before those expiration dates.
Also, they stated that TESU is no longer accepting credit for Insurance Ethics from the Institute. But, you can take Sophia.org's Introduction to Ethics to fulfill the "Ethical Leadership" requirement.
So I'd personally prioritize those 4 before taking any other Sophia.org courses.
HTH!
I completed the ethics course back in the day when it was UL credit and never sent my transcript yet. I wonder if they will still accept it.

@natshar, I can tell you they confirmed and approved recently that my social psych and history of Vietnam that I completed at the end of 2017 when they were both UL are still UL for me in the 2019A catalog.

It looks like TESU killed one Sophia course, Intro to Religions. I saw it in Sophia’s TESU transfer guide a few days ago.

interesting. Also I'm wondering is the religion new or have they always not excepted that.
Seems to me there are big changes come July.

This is reply we got from TESU regarding Sophia College Algebra course .
" Yes, we do currently accept Sophia credits. However, please note that TESU recently ended a partnership with Sophia Learning. We are still accepting their credits, but I'd recommend taking this College Algebra course sooner rather than later (if possible) so as to get that transferred before any changes are made. I have added it as a "planned" course on your academic evaluation."

Then my list of priorities are adjusted to also include Eng Comp II, since the SDC option is now off the table as well:
So these 5 are the top ones to complete, I'm gathering:
U.S. History I is set to expire 4/30/20.
U.S. History II is set to expire 6/30/20.
Introduction to Information Technology is set to expire 06/30/20.
English Comp II since SDC is no longer accepted.
Introduction to Ethics to fulfill the "Ethical Leadership" requirement since Institutes is no longer accepted.
HTH!

Screw this, I'm on hold until we know more about what these nutcases plans are.

I think it was funny they gave me the $50 scholarship when I didn't even finish the course I started yet and all the courses are free anyways.
