So my plan was to graduate in September, but that's looking pretty unlikely now. I intended to finish up my degree requirements in July, taking my last required course (Intermediate Accounting II) in the beginning of July with study.com. The problem is that now I'm being told that their course won't be ACE approved by July

. My only other option at this point is to pay $329 for the PF course, but idk that I would be able to complete it in time to graduate in Sept. I wouldn't have much time to dedicate to it until July 1st. How long does it usually take people to complete the course? Does anyone know of another option for Intermediate II. Any advice would be extremely appreciated. Thanks!

I was going to recommend taking the Davar courses they have on special coming up, but you're needing Accounting II, not Accounting 102.
If I was in your shoes, you gotta decide, I would just fork out the cash and finish it faster at Penn Foster for $329, ask for a discount...

I don't think the timing for ACE approval is in Study.com's hands, so there's no way to predict when/if it might come through. Better a bird in the hand.

If you really want to graduate, suck it up and get the Penn foster course done. You have to ask yourself what is worth more to you the $329 for the PF course or the added three months until graduation. I am actually so glad I spent the money and got this requirement done at Oakton CC over this last semester. All of my transcripts are either at TESU or in transit. I can't wait to see that they received all of them so I can request a new eval and see everything complete except for my final TECEP - Fed Income Tax.
Also looks like you did Strategic Business Management from Penn Foster, you should plan for Intermediate Accounting II to take at least the same amount of time, you have experience with PF so you should know what to be expecting.
