[roughcowboy25]

yes gccc know about my disability and deafness.. i had note taker and interpreter and tutors but the problem is i do have not enough to memorize the forumla and notes before i take test. i did asked teacher about forumla note and he said no sorry and he follow his policy from his boss at the math department. i did took course third time attempt and i cant take course again due to the florida law about 3 time attempt because i have to find college for college algebra. so i have been looking for college for two weeks and i really need help with this forums because i couldn't locate any threads say college will accept ACE credit to be permit college credit on transcript.

Have you looked into ALEKS???

ALEKS -- Assessment and Learning, K-12, Higher Education, Automated Tutor, Math

I just finished Beginning & Intermediate Algebra with them and I would recommend this route to anyone because it's so cheap. It's only $20 a month and you can finish as many courses as you want in that time frame for $20.

Just make sure that whatever college you attend will accept ACE recommended courses for credit.

You can look at most school's policies on this matter on their website. If you need help...let me know and I can call some schools for you and pass the information along.

Hope this helps.

From a loyal degree seeker,

Since you are already enrolled in college, I see 2 possible choices that would be better than looking for a new college.
1. Find an online college algebra course that does not require a proctor. Even Excelsior has one- but there are cheaper options for sure. This is the best choice.
2. If you REALLY can't get through college algebra, you might consider changing your major. Every major has its own math requirement, and college algebra is not required by all majors.
__
IF you get to the point where you
a) know your college won't accept ALEKS
b) are unwilling to do an online algebra class and transfer it back to gccc
c) are unwilling to try the CLEP
THEN maybe you could change schools or change your major. If you have more than 50% finished, I'd keep that option at the very bottom. If you are in your first 25% of credits, then transferring is much easier.

B) reminded me of the fact that Straighterline has a College Algebra course, and I believe they offer 10 hour of tutoring with it. And you can either get it transcribed via ACE or you can get it sent through Fort Hayes State University (and get a letter grade out of it.)

It may be a better deal for the poster than ALEKs because of the included 1 on 1 instruction.

Well you know that General Education require Two math requirement and i did contacted Fort Hays State University advisor and he say you have to be admitted at Fort Hays State University and register course via Straighterline online for college algerba. I checked with Director Ms todd at gccc and she say gccc will accept credit from FHSU and they honor credits.

[COLOR="DarkGreen"]Once STR sends us your grade, we enter the grade on the FHSU course foryour transcript. Your FHSU transcript will not say "straighterline" in anyway. It will be an FHSU credit for an FHSU course.

Excelsior is Regionally Accredited, same with TESC & COSC

Here is the latest breakdown for ALEKS credit at TESC. Please note that they are NOT awarding 100 level math credit for Beginning Algebra per Todd Siben 2/25/2010
*Note the duplications, so the current credit available from ALEKS is now only 12 credits placed in math/natural science/general education.
**Also note that this means CLEP College Math can now be taken with this sequence for a full 6 non-duplicating credits, brining the total available back up to 18!

001 Beginning Algebra- DEVELOPMENTAL - no credit

002 Intermediate Algebra- MAT115

003 College Algebra- MAT121 *TESC Duplicate College Algebra w/trig
004 College Algebra with Trig- MAT121 *TESC Duplicate College Algebra

005 PreCal- MAT129 *TESC Duplicate Trig
006 Trig- MAT129 *TESC Duplicates PreCal

007 Intro Stats- STA201 *TESC Duplicates all other stats
009 Stats for Beh. Science- STA201 *TESC Duplicate all other stats
008 Business Stats- OPM351 *TESC Duplicates all other stats

beg algebra is now math 102 no longer a developmental course. as of today.. you have to email them if you have an issue or it shows up as a developmental course. they will correct it.

LOL I sent you a pm. I'm waiting for Linda to read this and flip out :ack:
I wouldn't trust anything at this point.

:willynilly: Please say you were kidding... I've been slaving over beginning algebra on Aleks for 2 weeks, have gone from 17% to 62% and am seeing formulas in my sleep, and someone is saying I cannot use this at TESC???
I may have to seriously hurt someone...like myself!
