As Rachel mentioned, acquiring ULs (upper-level courses) can be challenging at COSC. There is now a minimum grade requirement for SDC courses and you must complete most of your ULs before enrolling in the capstone course.

Just for reference for others...when did you transfer this into COSC? Interesting that they accepted a science course from Sophia and the lab from StraighterLine. Seems like many schools require the lab to be completed with the course so it's pretty cool that COSC accepted them split up.

UMPI is the only school that we discuss on here that has that requirement.  TESU will allow a lab science to be done separately from the course (like on a BS degree where they require Chem I & II + labs or Physics I & II + labs, they can all be from anywhere as long as they fit the requirements).  Excelsior doesn't have a lab science requirement.  COSC has always allowed a lab science to be from somewhere other than where the course was taken.  WGU doesn't care on their lab requirement.

I was speaking about colleges in general. I wasn't speaking about the handful of schools on here we discuss over and over. There are other schools that require the lab to be taken with the course in the same semester. Some schools don't allow you to register for the course and not the lab. I've experienced that as well. You get to experience all kinds of things when you've attended 10+ colleges in person like me. Even more fun things when you switch to online programs. The fun never stops.

Since COSC takes the Sophia science courses, I'd be surprised if they didn't also accept the coordinating Labs. If you're already taking the science(s) at Sophia it costs you nothing more to try and send them over (on the same transcript). The Sophia Labs are still rather new, but knowing the base science courses are on the approved list already...

Yeah, you can complete the Sophia.org science and lab then transfer, see what they say. I believe it should be fine if it's already acceptable to transfer in Sophia.org science classes without the lab.

I wouldn't be so sure. At SDC, Microbiology is accepted but not the lab sciences like BIO101L. It looks to me as if COSC is demanding an in-person lab experience.

I know MANY people who took Intro to Nutrition at Sophia or SDC, and then took a Nutrition Lab at Rio Salado back when they had a VERY easy Nutrition lab (they've changed it since then).  So I know for a fact they don't require an in-person lab.  They will also take an online lab from a local CC (not really any way to know that it's in-person vs. online).

I think they just decided not to allow any additional SDC or Sophia courses from a certain date, and the labs all came after that date, and they're just difficult at this point.  I don't think it has anything to do with in-person or not.
