URGENT: ALEKS users

You good for right now. If its on your ACE Transcript your safe. The only thing not 100% is if by the time you enroll at TESU they still except ALEKS for credit. (don't see them not).

That would be horrible!

Do you have to actually be enrolled for your evaluation to be locked in, or do you just need to apply and get your evaluation? How long is the evaluation good for? It would be a jerk move to get an evaluation, make a plan, execute plan, then enroll in 6 months and they change something on you.

I just completed the Pre-algrbra course on Aleks and got it approved by the ACE website.

Is it safe to say that my Aleks course will be transferred after the 11/2016?? Is there anything I need to do like transferring or ordering a transcript. I won't be enrolling into TESU until later next year.

Are you sure you took Pre-Algebra? I am editing my comment from earlier, because I wanted to double check the titles were what I remembered, and ALEKS doesn't have a pre-algebra course for college credit. Here's what's on the ALEKS page:

Students can receive college credit for American Council on Education (ACE) credit-recommended ALEKS courses. To receive credit, a student must assess at 70% or greater on the course material for an ACE credit-recommended ALEKS course and be registered with the ACE Credit Online Transcript System. Once ALEKS and ACE have confirmed the student's completed work in ALEKS, an ACE transcript is provided. The ACE transcript can then be used to request up to three semester hours of college credit per course at educational institutions that grant credit for ACE credit-recommended courses.

Visit the ACE College Credit Recommendation Service for more information.

Intermediate Algebra

When you are ENROLLED your plan is locked.

I don't think Prealgebra is an ACE-approved course. Beginning Algebra? Intermediate Algebra?

As long as you have courses on your ACE transcript, it doesn't matter when you send them to the school.

TESU said Intermediate Algebra was ACE Approved, and it shows on my ACE transcript as of today.

Ok, so I finally accomplished a 70% on my 5th assessment of 8 questions this time for College Algebra. How long for ACE to review and add? Thanks

When my son applied for credit it took about 2 hours. Might take longer for you because it's the weekend.

Also - why did your assessment only have 8 questions? My son was going to try to get statistics knocked out, but he scored 40% on the initial 25 or 30 question assessment and just decided there wasn't enough time to increase his score. Are the later assessments shorter?

From what I see from experience and read from others Aleks will focus on items which need further work as determined from prior assessments. So while my first few assessments were 25-30 questions, it dropped down to 7-8 questions for the last two. I still do not see the approval for my credits on ACE yet so perhaps they are off on the weekend which is a bummer as I wanted to immediately jump into Statistics and now have to wait till Monday I suppose.

I have had them approve my courses on the weekend, you should get it tomorrow. I have had them approved on both Saturday and Sunday.
