I have a bunch of credits from Shmoop, which knocks out TESU. I have a bunch of FEMA IS credits that could be used at COSC. I already have the lab course completed through SL, and have taken enough courses to qualify for the discount.

What's the cost breakdown for a bachelor's? If I'm close to 60 credits in (or way past, if I can use 25 FEMA credits), it might make sense to just go for the whole dang enchilada. It's those dang upper level credits that are harder to come by.

I'm interested in potentially getting my bachelor's from COSC, but may already have enough credits to cover everything but the residency course for an Associates at Excelsior due to the lower requirements. Is there anything that would prevent one from getting an associates at one college, then eventually getting their bachelor's from another of the Big Three?
It's going to take a while due to money to get enough credits for the Bachelor's, and I'm interested in having a 2 year degree on my resume in the meantime if I already qualify at Excelsior.

Or maybe I'm just wasting my money and should just grind and be patient till I get the Bachelor's. What do you guys think?

Or would you have to re-apply if you don't enroll within a certain period of time? (Not that it would necessarily be a big deal to pay another application fee if I HAD to do so.)

I'm not sure how it works at COSC, but it should work the way you think.  You apply, then wait to see how the eval comes back.

If you post all of your courses here, I can probably tell you what the evals will look like at COSC and TESU.  Maybe even EC.
