ALEKS is self paced math instruction that the big 3 all award credit for (specific classes). You pay $20/month and take assessments/ work on learning math until you reach 70%....then your done, send it to ACE and record the credit. If your good at Math, or just determined to get through it it can be a great way to earn the required credit cheaply...with a tutor I think anyone should be able to get it done quickly! ALEKS Course Products You will need College Algebra or Statistics at a minimal.
Straighterline is self paced education that is also accepted by all of the Big3 and several other colleges. It's all lower level, but there are some courses to consider like College Algebra (instead of ALEKS) and English Comp 1 and 2. Aleks is $99/month (recurring) plus $40 per course (once per course) I did my math this way in 28 days....$138 for three credits...good deal.

The only official GPA will be for courses you take at COSC...cornerstone and capstone. But my transcript reflects an overall GPA. They show the grade for Straighlerline and a few older DSST's and all transfer work. ALEKS and most exams are Pass/fail only.

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.
