At a brick wall

University of the People charges $100 for an end of course exam per course. The total cost of a bachelor's degree will be $4,000 plus the $50 application fee. A TESC BSBA could be completed for less unless one qualifies for one of UotP's scholarships (a lot are for non-U.S students). Another issue with University of the People is that it is nationally accredited, which means less acceptance by graduate schools. The Big 3 have the advantage of being regionally accredited. Schools like Liberty, APUS, and WGU do accept degrees from nationally accredited schools, though. I don't think APUS or WGU are any better than the Big 3. Nations University (also nationally accredited) offers theology degrees and only charges a $400 and something annual student services fee. That's probably the cheapest, most realistic option out there. Other colleges that offer free tuition tend to be highly-competitive and don't offer distance learning programs. It costs money to move to a different state.

If one cannot afford ALEKS, then one cannot afford Saylor. ALEKS is $20 per month. Saylor courses require a proctored exam in order to earn college credits. The proctoring service costs $25 per test. Brandman University and University of Memphis have a partnership with Saylor to accept some of their non-ACE/NCCRS courses, but you still need to pay for the proctored exams.

Videogamesrock found out about earning 30 free college credits from DreamDegree, but you have to attend one of their partner colleges.

Edmonds Community College was another option, but the application deadline passed on 11-30-15. You can still earn free college credits for a COSC degree with FEMA IS courses.
