So it's rather difficult to see what you're talking about here, since I don't know where you got all this info (possibly from TESU's website?).  So I think it's easier if I give you some better info than what you're using, and then you can decide from the wiki how to get your GE credits (there are MANY more options than what you have listed, you are seriously limiting yourself here).

You probably need more help on the Core & AoS, so I'll concentrate on that.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Create a spreadsheet with the requirements, and start with a blank slate.
 - Column 1 - course # (at TESU)
 - Column 2 - Requirement (I put this in all caps)
 - Column 3 - Course name (where you're taking it)
 - Column 4 - Where you're taking the course/exam
 - Column 5 - UL (or blank if not)
 - Column 6 - TAKEN (this is where you'll start to put your number of credits as you take a course)
 - Column 7 - NEED (this is where you'll have the number of credits needed for each course)
 - Column 8 - TOTAL (I use this to total up each section)

I then have subtotals, because you need these for each section:
Gen Ed Subtotals - 1 each for Taken, Need, and then Total should be these added together - this should equal 45cr
Major/Core - 1 each for Taken, Need, and then Total should be these added together - this should equal 42cr (and at least 1 course should be UL, plus capstone is UL)
AoS - 1 each for Taken, Need, and then Total should be these added together - this should equal 18cr (and at least 12cr should be UL)
Free Electives - 1 each for Taken, Need, and then Total should be these added together - this should equal 15cr

TOTAL - you should have the 4 subtotals added together for each column - this should equal 120cr

As you finish a course, you put the credits in the taken column, and remove them from the need column.  The subtotal of that section should stay the same, and the grand total should be 120cr.  Once in a while, if you take a 4cr or 1cr of 2cr course, you may have an issue - you need to make sure that your subtotals are correct; you can't do 44cr of GE's for example, although you can go over; the only place that can be short credits is the Free Electives area.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's how to plan out your degree (put these courses into your degree plan in order, then work around them to do the remaining credits):

1) Plan on your final 16cr term (if you go this way, which if you're doing tuition reimbursement, you will want to do) - take THE easiest options here, I suggest:
 - Cornerstone
 - Capstone
 - PLA-100 (1cr)
 - CIS-107: Computer Apps (e-Pack course)
 - add'l course
 - add'l course

2) Plan on 14cr add'l of RA to meet that requirement.  Some suggestions (I passed all of these easily with no studying):
 - Applied Liberal Arts Mathematics - should be extremely easy after taking Stats & College Algebra (easiest exam I ever took)
 - English Composition I - no study needed, must be proficient typist
 - English Composition I - no study needed, must be proficient typist
 - Technical Writing - no study needed
 - 1 add'l exam

3) Any remaining course that you want to do via CLEP (more limited number)

4) Any remaining course that you want to do via Saylor (since you like testing out)

5) Sophia courses if you're looking for inexpensive

6) Study.com courses - to get all your UL and many of the business core

This should allow you to make a good spreadsheet, make sure you have all required courses done, have all RA requirements met, and cover every course you need to get all 120 credits.

Good luck!

EDIT - forgot to mention:

1) contact College Board and get your transcript sent to TESU as well as a copy for yourself - and if you post it, I can tell you what everything will come in as

2) contact your former school and get your transcript sent to TESU and yourself - and if you post your courses, I can tell you how they'll come in (include grades, as it matters)
