How to check for current Penn Foster ACE accreditation? |

Hey everyone,
I'm looking at Penn Foster's Intermediate Accounting 1 and 2 on the ACE registry and it's telling me this:
Intermediate Accounting I (ACC201)
Credit Type: Course
ACE Course Number: 0109
Organization: Penn Foster College
Location: Self-study.
Length: Correspondence program
Dates Offered: 3/1/1999 - 9/30/2012
Objective: To expand on general accounting principles...blah blah blah...
If I'm reading this correctly, the course is no longer accredited? (It died on 9/30?) Int. Accounting 2 says
it's valid 1999-Present. It's weird that Intermediate accounting 1 would be dropped and 2 would still be valid,
so I'm wondering what's up because the date listed is relatively recent.
Is there any way to check with ACE to see if this is just a temporary thing or if it's dropped for good? I would call
PF but after reading some of the posts here I wouldn't trust their advisors.
Any suggestions?

Straighterline Algebra Help? |

I'm in the middle of the Straighterline (SL) College Algebra and I am trying to complete it by the end of November so I can get my credits transferred to my University for graduation end of December. This is my LAST class and I've struggled with Algebra for years (started my BS in 1991 when I first joined the Army)...tried taking the course with the Uni but kept dropping because I just got behind or just couldn't grasp the concepts! I have had no problems with any other courses I've ever taken, in fact all others were taken at the Uni and I've got a 3.57 GPA. So, knowing that I wasn't going to get a good grade in this class I decided to take it through SL and just transfer so it wouldn't affect my GPA. I just need a pass!!!
Well, I've taken exam 1 and 2 in the SL Algebra course and I scored an 87 and 100. But, now I'm on to this graphing stuff and I'm just friggin lost. When it's just the equations and straight math I can usually walk my way though it, but stuff like graphing and applications are just so confusing for me. So, here I am just trying to pull a 70% in the class and wondering from those who've taken it, how were the last 3 exams (I mean the 2 exams and the final)? Were the questions on the final "similar" to those on the 4 course exams? I'm getting through this with Mathway and the book...but I don't think that without these 2 resources I'd even pass. I was registered before Nov 1 so I'm in the situation where I don't need a proctor for the final (and my Uni doesn't require it either), so I'm really aiming to nail this (when I say nail I mean >70%!!) the first time...because if I have fail the first time I know I'm gonna do crappy with a proctor on the second time out!
ANY feedback or words of wisdom from those who've taken this course would be MUCH appreciated!
Randy

Hey everyone,
My wife is looking at getting her Fundamental Payroll Cert (FCP) and
it's listed as 8 credits on the ACE database.
It looks like:
In the lower-division baccalaureate/associate degree category
- 3 semester hours in payroll accounting
- 1 semester hour in taxation
- 1 semester hour in principles of accounting
- 1 semester hour in business law
- 1 semester hour in information systems
- 1 semester hour in business mathematics.
NOTE: for a total of 8 semester hours. (6/11).
I was just wondering who to contact at TESC in order to validate this?
I know TESC is *supposed* to take anything ACE recommends, but
she'd like to verify it before choosing a gameplan for the rest of her
CLEP/DANTES work.
Thanks ladies and gents!
*ps - excuse the screwed up title, somehow I chopped it...

6 credits for a 3 credit course |

I got my transcript eval back from TESC, and I'm wondering if any of you ran into this issue. I have oodles of credits from community colleges (about 200...), but TESC can only accept 80. Fair enough. Here's what happened:
My accounting I course at the CC was worth 6 credits. The TESC adviser applied all 6 credits toward the required 3 credit ACC-101 course at TESC. Because of this, I can't transfer one of my other CIS courses in so I have to take an additional course.
I know the university in my area (UNM) has an articulation agreement with our community college, and that 6 credit accounting class articulates as UNM's 3 credit ACC101. I thought the same thing would have happened with TESC. I'm not sure if I should challenge the adviser's decision. Have any of you experienced this too?
btw, I did a search prior to this posting- there was one blurb under a thread called 'Tesc psych majors, what courses are you taking to 'test out' of your psych electives?', but I thought I'd try to see how many out there ran into the same issue.
Thanks!

Haven't taken my first CLEP yet and decided to go with Sociology from the looks of other posts that this is recommended to take for first-timers. I took all three of the Peterson's practice exams .. 72% on the first, 78% on the second, and a 56% on the third. I must admit, the third practice test was harder than the first two. Wondering what percent should I be hitting on the Peterson's to guarantee a passing score on the CLEP?
