I was a physics major at USF with abysmal grades some time ago and I sort of panicked and got a degree from Thomas Edison State College (not prestigious, but I figured any B.A. is better than none). I feel much more prepared through self-study and was hoping to go back and finish at UF (I have roughly 12 credits needed). I realize it is unlikely I'll get accepted on any basis to the school, but I was hoping someone who was in a similar situation could give me any advice. I was thinking I could attempt an explanation to the department chair, maybe ask for a chance to prove proficiency in the subject.

I think the question would not be, will you be accepted? I think the question will be, which of your TESC courses will be given credit at USF? I suppose they could make you start over again with introductory physics and math if your TESC grades were also low, or if they htake a snooty attitude towards a TESC education.
(In general, the worse the school, the more highly they think of themselves! Here at AZ State Univ. the computer science students were told that it's "the second-best computer-science school in the U.S.! In fact, it's probably not even in the top 50.)
