ALEKS extended to December 31. 2016

[dfrecore]

I think the best solution is to somehow get an ACE rep to make a name on this site and personally talk to us like Study.com has done. Then we can know every class in the pipeline, clear up any confusion, discuss our annoyances that certain classes are only recommended for 1 or 2 credits and so on... Maybe if someone offers to make Christmas cookies for an ACE rep we can talk one into doing this for us. Any volunteers?? Who's with me?!

This is not an ACE issue, but rather an ALEKS issue. So you would want someone from ALEKS to come on here and make a statement. I doubt that will happen, as most people don't like to come on here and make claims like that, and be held to something that may or may not happen.

When Study.com comes on here, it's to talk about their product specifically, and tell us about deals, ask questions, respond to things - but they never tell you something ironclad that they would be held accountable for later if it didn't happen as they planned. They don't tell us about specific courses coming on board until they have been ACE-approved and are listed on the ACE website, for instance. They say vague things, like "we are planning on having some literature courses later this year" or "we are working on getting the Oral Comm course to be 3cr" but don't give a date or say anything more.

Haha I was just messing around because of all the current confusion. I would never expect an ACE rep to tell us all of their inner-workings!

This question is for jsd: If I complete an ALEKS course next Thursday December 8, would I still receive credit? Or do I need to stay up until 11:59 PM tonight to receive credit?

ACE says that the deadline goes through 12/31. Staying up tonight couldn't do much good since the OLD deadline was yesterday, anyway.

Beyond that, Cookderosa's source at ACE says ALEKS isn't renewing and Jsd's source at ALEKS says they are. Take your pick. I don't know what else anyone can say.

Hopefully by noon tomorrow, someone will have tried to get credit for a course completed today 12/1/16 and report back with the results. I know someone who couldn't get ALEKS statistics passed prior to the deadline but passed everything else.

Side question: Does anyone know if WGU has accepted ALEKS recently like in the last year?

WGU accepted my son's ALEKS Algebra credits, which was a relief because they rejected his Shmoop credits based on the lack of proctoring. This was about 2 months ago that his transcript was evaluated.

hilarious I know exactly what you mean. It's alright, there are other options, but I hope they do "accept" the credits until the end of December.
I might go at it again, as Stats was what killed my brain cells (5 courses in one month on ALEKS). I couldn't take it anymore the second month...
So, I tried my hands with Straighterline STATS, got killed as well *sigh*... had 80 for the first few exams, but finals dropped me below 70%.
If someone does get the stats course accepted today or tomorrow, I might have to give it a final go... or take the Business Stats at Straighterline.

Oh I know, and I believe it's 12/31 because ACE says it is. Sorry, I was just messing with jsd after seeing this post

banghead

Any work completed AFTER the expiration date won;t be worth credit. the expiration date is 12/31.

My Credit was Approved!!!! What's more is they denied the corse I didn't take but the emailed me and told me to switch my courses and take the test in the new one!!!
