    What is the deal with the residency requirement of TESU? I don't recall this when I looking at them a few years ago. I don't need 16 credits plus it would be costly.

    Ive already applied to Excelsior a few years ago but they rejected over 20 credits from one of my schools because it was regionally accredited so that is not an option.

    COSC I think didnt accept my Speech class because it was the general speech class and they want something about public speaking but I dont have access to look at my evaluation of credits.

    I have over 100 credits plus I just got a 73 on my Spanish CLEP today so that is hopefully another 9 credits. So with a cornerstone or a capstone I think I am right at graduating. Maybe 3-6 more credits.

    My credits are all over the place. Bible(religion), Psychology and some History.

    What should I do?

    I think you mean they rejected credits from a nationally accredited school.

    What you might do is apply to a nationally accredited school, if that will suit your needs.

    Most schools max out at 90 transfer credits.

    You don't have to take 16 credits, you can pay a $2000 residency waiver fee instead. This is new this year. Before they had a 24 credit residency, but you could take TECEPs to fulfill it. Now it's either 16 credits of online courses or the waiver.

    In your shoes, I'd apply to each of the Big3, send in your transcripts, and see how they use your credits. Then decide which one works best for you.
