BA English at TESU

To answer the questions in your original post:

1. This will not be an issue with TESU or any of the providers listed on the wiki page. There are a handful of colleges and a provider or two that doesn't allow international students but you don't have to worry about this. 
   
2. It looks like you've got the costs pretty well covered. I see that you've estimated high but the numbers are a bit odd. For instance, why do you have $402 for the graduation fee when it's $298? Why an extra $104? 
   
3. I'm not sure you can get scholarships in this situation but it certainly doesn't hurt to try. Some (most?) of them may require that the money be used on actual courses and not just paid directly to you. They may even require a certain number of credits per term. Make sure you check the requirements, especially since you want to do this ASAP.
   
4. GE electives must come from the GE requirements section. Math/science/etc. Parts A-D of section I. Free electives can be in ANY subject. As an example, Coopersmith's Culinary & Hospitality courses do not fall under general education requirements but they could be used as free electives.
   
5. Yes, Non-Western Literature counts as an UL credit. dfrecore has already point out that you cannot just fill the AOS with random courses, though. A BALS could be faster and cheaper if an English degree isn't required (that's essentially what you've originally planned and there is a TESU BALS plan on the wiki as well) but, in this specific instance, I'm not sure that a BALS is a good choice. From what I can see with a quick search, you need a teaching degree OR "any" bachelor's degree and (possibly) a TEFL certificate in order to teach English in Australia. But I'm not sure that they'd choose a Brazillian with a generic degree to teach English in Australia if they can find someone who has an actual teaching or English degree instead. 
   
6. In 2018, the SDC course didn't exist. I think it was introduced in late 2018 or early 2019. 
   
7. Finish up ALL of Sophia (per the wiki), except those courses that overlap with the already paid-for courses from SL and the TECEPs, and send those credits in. I'm assuming that she's already applied to TESU? If so, with her TECEPs, she's fully enrolled and can send transcripts at any time. 
   
8. It's not completely automatic and there is normally nothing to be concerned about. There are times when advisors will stick something in "the wrong slot" and you have to request to have it moved but this is usually no big deal.
