Quote:Study.com and TESU have an exclusive partnership to make transferring credit from Study.com courses and earning a degree as seamless as possible. If you follow our degree plan guidelines, up to 90 credits will transfer and apply to a degree at Thomas Edison State University, except when you use another potential source of transfer credit duplicating a degree requirement that could be satisfied via Study.com courses. A Study.com transcript is required to verify acceptance into the partnership.

If you did a search here as well, you would have read many threads to limit their credits from a particular ACE/NCCRS source, up to 90 credits, even in my Beginners Guide spreadsheet template or the Degreeforum Wiki.  Example, I like StraighterLine OR CLEP/MS, I only recommend doing the max 90 credits from each towards a degree.  The AOS, I recommend using Study.com or other testing methods.

Here you go, the TESU transfer info.  Just in case you missed the read: https://www.tesu.edu/academics/catalog/transfer-credit

Courses and examinations approved through the National College Credit Recommendation Service (National CCRS) and the American Council on Education (ACE) College Credit Recommendation Service. The limit of National CCRS and ACE credits from a single source is 90 credits for a bachelor's degree and 45 credits for an associates degree.

Essentially, you can transfer ALL 117 of a Bachelors but the Capstone into TESU, create a degree plan and stick to it!  
For Community College OR a 4 year college, they have similar requirements: See this page for details.

Do you know if Charter Oaks has the same limit of 90 credits from study.com?

When I applied to Charter Oak, Excelsior, Thomas Edison and WGU, I sent them over 100 credits from StraighterLine alone along with my other credits.  TESU has restrictions on the amount of credits from one source, 80 from 2 year CC, 117 from 4 year college/univ and 90 from ACE/NCCRS  (90 credits from one ACE/NCCRS source, not total).  Charter Oak didn't have a restriction of 90 credits from one source, neither did Excelsior.  I don't recall WGU though, hmm...

Is this still true? I tried asking the TESU student services by chat today and they said they only accept 90 credits in total from all sources. But their residency requirement is now at 16 semester hours? So how does that make sense? I'm very confused right now because I'm given this information from the school itself. Does anyone know?
