It depends on when they applied. If they did it last year, they would still be able to take TES-100.
I applied last year:
Program:
BA in Computer Science (BA.COS1)
Catalog Year:
2018
Not Catalog year but the date of your actual application was last year? I'm in the same boat that gams007 is in.
That's correct. I applied in May 2018. Due to changing life circumstances, I wasn't able to study until now. My academic evaluation shows the 1 credit cornerstone.

Data Structures - Not sure where?
Do I need two or three UL courses to complete the degree? I saw study.com has database management for UL credit, are there any other easy and quick options?
You need 18cr total in the major, and 3cr is the capstone - so 15cr of UL is what you're looking to do.
Study.com has Data Structures as a non-credit-bearing course, you might want to wait a while and see if they end up getting it ACE-approved. I mean, I wouldn't wait a year or anything, but it might be worth waiting a few months.

Computer architecture from study.com would be another 3 UL credits, right?
I think I'm gonna plan for intro to programming and data structures last, in case study.com gets these two courses ACE approved. Fingers crossed.

Yes Comp Arch would be UL.
Systems Analysis can be done at Study.com
Study.com might also have another UL course later on.

Does Saylor Software Engineering still count as UL in the AOS for BACS?

No it was downgraded.

OD already has an intro to programming course and study.com data structures course is 6+ months away from being ace approved.

Just retake the DSST when you're allowed?

I think they're hoping for under 6 months.

Can you tell me where you heard this? They don't normally tell anyone when/if future courses will be approved, so I'm surprised you know this.

The only thing I would note is that Data Structures makes for a good foundation for all the other CS courses. If you already have that knowledge, then your idea is fine. However if you're just learning CS, I'd be tempted to advise you to go ahead and find the course at your local CC or online and get it done early.
