I think we interpreted your evaluation differently because we did not know that the College Math CLEP (6 credits) counts as 2 courses below the level of Calculus.
I went back and read the 3 course below Calculus policy and it does not mention Stats. I was told that Stats is not subject to the policy.
In the end, it worked out the same with 12 credits and a depth. We just didn't realize why that happened for you.
This "new" way would make ALEKS the cheaper option to get all 12 math credits and a depth.
I hope what I am saying is clear. Please let me know if it is not.

So, because its worth 6 credits, it automatically counts as two classes? I wasn't aware of that... Wacky.. Thanks for the clarification on that.
**Edit - Oh, and even through it fulfills a depth, my advisors didn't treat it like that, and kept telling me I still had a depth to fulfill after my Major... Until I told them to use my MIS credits as an AoF... Sigh... I swear, sometimes these advisors... **

Yes, that is what I was told. This is good news overall, though.

Really? The result of your unofficial eval in Feb is the reason that I thought ALEKS Stats worked for a depth in Math. (As of then, it looked like you already had both depths finished - math and computing.) Would you please check on it for us?

Nope... The Official eval doesn't show it... It actually shows a depth being fulfilled via my MIS stuff, but no math depth. Did they have the depth column marked for the math classes in what you're looking at?

Yes, Depth 1. Sorry. I should have sent you a PM first.

New thought - Is Stats being counted toward your Psych major instead of a math depth now?

Yeah, but you also have to remember unofficial vs official are two different worlds, as well.

Right. That is a concern. If you chose Psych major when you enrolled, Stats may never have been considered for a math depth on the official eval like it was on the unofficial. I haven't asked my advisor this specific question because I did not know that the status of your math depth had changed.

Another thought - Stats is part of a math major, so counting it as part of a depth seems possible. ALEKS Stats did count as part of a psychology depth for Peace123.
