+1.

Also consider going out of state, if possible. Different universities have different transfer rules. Find the place (within reason) that gets him closest to the degree, and go talk to them. You might get lucky with some online courses.

As someone who screwed up plenty, I would suggest having him physically visit someone in the department that he needs to be in for the CS degree. 

When I sat across the desk from someone who knew exactly what needed to be done, I got my marching orders and followed them to a T.  Years of lackluster responses from the department via email were replaced with 20 minutes in front of someone.

Subject: [AFMUG] OT finishing a degree

My oldest son has attended just about every college and university  in Utah I think. 
He cares more about his job building parts for SpaceX than he does his degree. 
But lack of degree is limiting his upward mobility at the aerospace company he works for. 
 
He has been in lots of programs at multiple colleges.  Aerospace engineering, CS, cyber security. About 20 credits from finishing a CS degree.
He fouled up a re-admissions process and now finds himself unable to finish at the university he was going to a few days before classes start.
I know how that feels.  I did something similar and had to finish somewhere else. 
 
Non traditional student, early 30s. 
I know there are lots of online places that will take your transfer credits. 
I just don’t know any particular places.
 
Any recommendations?
