I'd petition to the dean. I've done about 10 and never had one turned down.

MS - Management and Leadership, WGU 2022
BS - Liberal Arts - Depths in Healthcare and Psychology, Excelsior College 2014
Certificate - Workers Comp Admin, UC Davis Extension, 1995
AA - Licensed Vocational Nursing and Selected Studies, Mesa College 1989

Also, someday maybe a MS in Forensic Psychology, just for fun.   Oh, and a BS in Animal Behavior.  And, maybe when I'm 85 a PhD in something fun.

I agree with GoodYellowDogs. The dean should realize that your son has already passed the course.

Or, maybe the community college course requires more than 70%, or they do their own mid-terms/finals, or something other than just ALEKS.

Yes, I need more facts before I get too worked up. I will explore this a bit more though.

Nawwww, overreacting before the facts are in makes for a more exciting life. Come on Jennifer, you can do it!

Those of you who have used ALEKS know that there are a zillion types of classes offered, and only a handful are for college credit, so it's possible that they have a class they are using that isn't correlated to the ones my son did for college credit. I'm not sure, I will know more when he gets started. That said, if they ARE the same, I'm going full tilt. If they are not....well, then they'll argue that they are different classes.
