Aleks - Ace Certified? - acamp - 02-26-2018
Good morning,
Is it true that ALEKS no longer offers ACE certified courses if you complete them through ALEKS? Did they lose their ACE cert or something? Thanks in advance!

Correct, ALEKS no longer offers ACE certified courses. You had to complete (pass) their credit course options prior to August 31, 2017 in order for them to be eligible.

Thank you for your quick response! I appreciate it. Do you know why they no longer offer ACE courses?

There have been musings on this board that it simply isn't financially feasible for Aleks to recertify now that a ton of CCs use them for math.

Read the top - got it. Thank you!

Course providers pay to have their courses ACE-recommended, and ACE probably decided to go in a different direction and didn't think it was worth paying the fees any longer. They didn't "lose" certification, as much as they decided not to renew (so no problems, just a decision).
