Lab component for Biology course?

[cookderosa]

The school I will be enrolling in for my BA requires a lab component for all science courses in the General Ed. section of my degree.
I have already taken and passed the Biology CLEP with its 6 recommended credits from ACE. However, when I contacted the admissions department they stated that I could take a lab from an outside academic institution and transfer that credit otherwise my credit from the Biology CLEP would be placed in my electives and I would have to take a full Biology course to satisfy the science requirements. Does anyone know of a lab that I can take online and substitute the CLEP for the lecture part? I have looked
into my local Community College for such programs but have not found any so far. I'll keep researching though. I would really like to use that CLEP for my science requirements given how hard I worked for it but I'm open to anything else anyone can think of.
Thanks in advance!

While some colleges will transcribe a science CLEP as 8 instead of 6 (indicating lab) most don't. The part of your question that concerns me is that "all science courses" in your degree "require a lab."
"All" implies you need more than 2, which would put your degree in a category that is probably not going to let you fool around with ACE labs to fill in half classes. Most colleges don't require 3 lab sciences for a BA - my money says you're going to have to take actual lab science classes, and my guess is that you won't get to use the CLEP bio as an elective because your lab science class will duplicate the credit. If you were willing to give more details- like where you're attending and what your degree is in, I'm sure someone can help you find clues to how your college will handle this. My guess is that this isn't going to go how you expected it to go.
