Unfortunately, Pierpont will NOT accept courses from Parchment and neither will TESU. As of right now, I think you'll need to bug Sophia to get your courses manually added to Acclaim if you want to go to either school.
UMPI and Excelsior both, AFAIK, accept Sophia on Parchment. So does COSC but they have the expensive RA requirement for their degrees so I would skip them since you have relatively little RA credit. I'm not sure how WGU feels about Sophia & Parchment.
As already said, applying credit towards a degree does not "erase" them from your transcript somehow.
To whether or not $1200 is worth it for an AAS, I'd say it depends. That's still a low price for an Associate's degree. Will an Associate's degree possibly get you a promotion or help you to land a new job while you're finishing up your Bachelor's? If so, I'd say it's totally worth it. If not, it's up to you as to whether or not getting your Associate's degree will provide more concrete motivation to actually complete a Bachelor's degree.
