Credit for ALEKS Corp (McGraw Hill) Online courses in College Algebra & Statistics

[taylor]

Ok.. I'm confused as far as what you're saying?

If you're talking about the fact that they have different course numbers, and that fact alone should give you credit for both Business Stats and Intro or SBS, that's not always the case, even at different colleges. Many different colleges that I've seen will say similiar courses duplicate even through they're in different subtypes. (History & PoliSci, English & History, so on & so forth.) They're usually a lot more clear about it and point this fact outright in the catalog (Which can be a huge cluster when transfering in credits to the big 3 from various sources, because from what I've seen, if it has a shadow of similarity, they'll yell duplicate!, no matter how many people before you got full credit.) Did they actually tell you in writing that those credits would not duplicate initially?

Actually, I'm not sure what's unclear. OPM351 is considered a Business Management course and the STA201 is considered a Math course. They shouldn't duplicate. I had requested a list from advisement regarding the ALEKS breakdown because I was sick and tired of calling them constantly about each course and then sometimes you would get conflicting information on a course that was ok'd earlier on the phone. After I took Beginning Algebra I took courses according to this list so I wouldn't be taking a course I wouldn't be getting credit for. By chance when I requested them to place these ALEKS courses on my academic evaluation is when I found out all the Stats classes are considered STA201 even though the email shows otherwise. The people at advisement apologized to me for not giving me the right information but told me that they couldn't give me credit for more than one Stats class.
