So 9 find myself in a bit of a bind. I need to apply some upper level credits to my degree but I got a D on two of them. Is there any way to convert these credits to ACE credit and then have them apply to the degree? I don't want to have to take 2 more courses, especially upper level natural science courses. What can I do?
If this isn't an option, then are there any upper level natural science courses I can take in the next month or so?
I appreciate the help everyone.

They will want to see that credit from the original source...going through ACE is almost certainly a no go.
Excelsior may have an UL test or two, you can always tackle a distance offering from LSU/BYU/Univ. of Idaho/Univ. of Arkansas?CSU-Pueblo.

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.

Can't you only move credits to an ACE transcript if they are ACE-approved? 99.9% of colleges do not have their credits ACE-evaluated because they are already regionally or nationally accredited.

I made the mistake of applying for graduation based on those grades, and already got accepted to graduate school, and even started already... So I need those classes done in the next month or so so I can have my BA otherwise I won't be allowed to come back next semester.
Any upper level natural science or math will work.

ECE Pathophysiology? ECE Bioethics, which also seems to goes to TESC under a BIO code? Keep in mind that both will have letter grades on the EC transcript.
TECEP Network Technology? (If so, act quickly to register, the process of registration, sending to a proctor, etc. may take a while).

The network management and MIS courses might work, since I work in the IT field anyway.
I can try ALEKS Business Statistics, since the ACE National Guide says its upper level. Will that transfer into the area as well?
I'm not familiar with ALEKS though, what is the process? I have taken Straighterline Calculus I and English II. Is it something like that? Basically, I finished English II in about a week. But it took a really long time for them to get back to me with some of the graded essays.

None of the Big Three quite follow the ACE National Guide for ALEKS, particularly their statistics courses. TESC counts Business Statistics as both lower-level, and duplicative with any other introductory statistics course or exam (STA-201). COSC counts it as lower-level but not necessarily duplicative. I know EC counts it as duplicative; I don't know for sure whether they count it as upper or lower level.

I haven't taken any Statistics courses before. So TESC doesn't follow the ACE recommendation for the upper level stats at ALEKS? That would make things pretty easy.
How about DSST? What is the MIS test like? Scheduling the exam? Can they be taken at Prometric exam locations?

As everyone said, you won't be able to launder these into pass/fail.
HOWEVER, this seems like the PERFECT opportunity for someone to try out ACT classes!! Here's the deal, you can register now and they are self-paced costing only $99/credit and you would be awarded GRADUATE level credit which TESC transcribes as upper level. Here's the rub, no one has done this yet, so we are all waiting on the edge of our seats to see if this works. Since you are enrolled already, you should be able to talk to your advisor (not the random phone-answer-person) and get pre-approval ahead of trying. None of us wondering are currently enrolled, which is why the question still remains. *note, go into their catalog pdf to get the code which allows for $99/cr otherwise it's $110/cr.
ACT | Advancement Courses for Teachers Tons of science. (note, "traditional" in their definition means correspondence course, not butt-in-seat)
Important things to tell your advisor:
Name of the credit issuer: California State University Monterey Bay campus.
Accreditation: Regional
Type of credit: graduate
College within the university: Extended campus, but science courses HAVE SCIENCE PREFIX *you must say that
And find out what happens!!
