Emailing TESU about planning external credits into academic evaluation

First of all, thanks to everyone for the insights.

Wow, this is particularly useful, given my concern regarding exactly 12 credits from Coopersmith.
I went ahead and emailed TESU Advising yesterday, and they said that the 12 credits I want to take through Coopersmith do indeed apply to the AoS of my degree- so in theory, I should be all set to email Don.

At least from my experience, the wiki is completely accurate. Between me and my friends, we probably took 8 or 9 Coopersmith courses, all for upper level credit, and had no problems.

BTW, Coopersmith doesn't make it clear, but at least for all the courses I took, there is a mention of a textbook in the syllabus.  You can probably get away without it just by studying the powerpoint, but for several of the classes, I decided to get the textbook just to learn the material more completely. From my memory, they were decent textbooks, 

My only complaint was with a couple of the drug/alcohol classes. I think they were all put together by the same professor, and I found a lot of material dated and some was just flat-out wrong. The professor seems to have been in the field for decades... which isn't a bad thing, but this one seemed to hold onto a lot of old school notions and practices taht are obsolete nd not helpful to clients.  (I was already a drug/alcohol counselor when I took those courses, so I know that material pretty well.) 

But other than that, Coopersmith was smooth sailing.
