Looking for some advice before applying to TESC/TESU

[Archer]

Here's my situation, I'm 24 and I've pretty much attended college off & on since I was 18. I have over 100 quarter credits from a CC, so like ~60 semester credits or whatever. I've become pretty burnt out on it though and just want to finish as fast as possible. I was majoring in Computer Science but I've taken a few terms off, as I was about to transfer into a four year and wanted to wait for financial aid access (at 24 I no longer have to count my parent's income) rather than continuing to pay out of pocket, which prompted the search that lead me here.

I was working in broadcast engineering but due to cutbacks in that industry I left for an IT gig. Which I work at currently, it has a relatively flexible schedule, I basically get to pick my hours & as long as I work over 30 hours to keep my benefits I'm golden. I still want a more flexible schooling solution and something fast.

As such I'm curious if you could answer some questions relating to TESC/TESU for me.

1. I've heard one should finish their credits before transferring to TESC that way they only have to pay one year of the enrollment fee? But how do you know the credits will all transfer correctly?

2. How feasible is getting financial aid on say the enrolled options plan? Is it hard? I've read it's hard but details are often slim.

3. I also don't have a high school diploma (I was home schooled) though I do have the credits from a community college towards a comp sci degree, I've taken calculus 1/2, discrete math, beg. C++, int. C++, beginning data structures, etc. Do you think they'd make an exception on the high school diploma thing on the basis I already have so many college credits?

4. I'm looking at a dual major, BS BA/CIS & Computer Science. If I do that do I need to meet different gen ed. requirements for the BA too, or just the BS BA + the core Comp Sci credits? Is it possible to get the 18 required 300-400 level credits somewhere online? Straighterline? Course accessibility might be an issue with my plan to dual major.

5. I'd like to transfer in sooner and get an associates in computer studies or the business administration one via saylor, is this advisable or should I not even bother since I'd have to pay the enrollment fee on the associates degrees? Then again later on the BS?

6. How bad are the actual classes? I've heard bad things and OK things, are the finals they use for actual courses the same as the TECEP?

Thanks for your time folks.
