Best ACE option for these courses - if possible!
#1
ENG 250 (102)
Stats (terrible at Math)
COMM 221 (though I'm sure any communication course will work)
Cultural Enrichment 300 level
General 300 level elective
English 321 - Advanced Composition

I'm currently petering my way through Beginner and Intermediate Algebra on ALEKs, it's pretty painful, so not sure I should attempt statistics or not. The state college I am hoping to attend is open to accepting courses from ACE accredidation, so I want to know if there's a preferred site I should present to my advisor before requesting approval.

Thanks for any help!

Stats (terrible at Math) - ALEKS , Statistics.com, or Sl if they will take Intro to Stats for what you need.
COMM 221 (though I'm sure any communication course will work) If you need Oral Comm take the DSST or SL Intro to Comm, Study.com's Comm course now works for 3 credits as well. If you need the Business Comm Course - SL or Study.com
Cultural Enrichment 300 level - ?????
General 300 level elective - Any SL or Study.com course that comes in as Upper Level according to ACE Credit Registry
English 321 - Advanced Composition - Maybe Advanced Technical Writing from Study.com

Yes Always get prior approval for any course at a school. My CC claims to be open to ACE credit but every class I purposed to them got shot down. Everything from ALEKS, Study.com, SL all shot down.

I have heard ALEKS Stats is a pain in the butt so I don't know where the best place is. I'd recommend learning how to do the ALEKS calculations in Excel and learning that way. I managed to get through my Stats course at my Local CC that way. Not sure I would have been able to get through it without being able to run the problem in excel then reverse the problem to lean the steps myself.

Erinp, what is English 250? For which school are you hoping to use these? Is your goal still to get a bachelor's in anything, as quickly as possible? Which credits do you already have?
BA, MA, EdS, MMT, etc.

I'm always happy to complete the free application waiver for those applying to WGU (I get a free gift from WGU for this).  Just PM me your first/last name and a valid email so I can complete their form.

I'm transferring into Ferris State University for an RN to BSN program. Quick would be ideal, but not realistic for my situation with having 3 demanding kids who are young.

English 250 is English 102.

Thank you! Straighterline and ALEKS are already accepted without question. Just didn't know if I could find a more affordable option and easier statistics option prior to transferring in.

For English 102, you could try Straighterline if you are looking for an online class. For exams, DSST just came out with Principles of Advanced English Composition which fulfills English Composition II.

It's hard to say what will work at your school, since we don't know what your school will accept as what.

COMM 221 - what does that mean? You need to put the title of the course in.

Cultural Enrichment - again, your school's idea of what this is may be different than another school. Give examples of what would work here.

General 300 level elective - what will your school accept here? Some examples.

Advanced Composition - is this an UL course? Give some examples of what they will count.
