It's not self-paced but they do have an online class. https://catalog.oakton.edu/course-descriptions/course-descriptions-discipline/mat/ I checked the transfer tool and MAT-144 does transfer to TESU as MAT-270 Discrete Mathematics. 

Oakton is $136.25 per credit for online classes with a $25 application fee ($50 for international students). Their application is specifically designed to expect visiting students who just want to take a course or two. They DO accept ACE credits so, hopefully, Sophia's Algebra should satisfy the prerequisites for this course. 

The book is about $150 depending on options. https://www.mheducation.com/highered/product/9781260262759.html

How can I be shore the I can still take this course and will transfer to TESU?

Quote:Meeting Prerequisites
If you plan to enroll at a course and have taken the prerequisite course at another school, complete our prerequisite process before you register for the class. 
 
To request a prerequisite override, complete our online Prerequisite Override Request Form (myOakton log-in required). Unoffical transcripts and/or supporting documentation showing you've met the prerequisiste will be uploaded with the form.
 
Requests will be evaluated within two-three business days from the date received (unless sent via email, process time may be longer). If approved, an online override will be issued, allowing students to register online or in person.
 
Math prerequisites are processed through our Math Department. Complete their online form for math prerequisite clearance.
 
If you plan to enroll in a math or English course you may need to meet the prerequisite or placement requirements. 

Quote:Submitting Transcripts
Submitting high school, college, or AP transcripts are not required for admission to Oakton.  However, many students are able to use these items to meet placement or satisfy a prerequisite requirement.
 
Transcripts (official or unofficial) can be submitted to Oakton's Enrollment Center in-person, by mail, or via an online submission service (i.e. Parchment).
 
Official transcripts are kept on your student record and can be used to transfer in prior credit to Oakton in addition to being used for placement or prerequisite requirements. These copies also meet checklist requirements.
 
Unofficial transcripts can only be used for placement and prerequisite purposes and are not kept on file to be used again. They do not meet checklist requirements.

These are not Discrete Math. I am still planning on taking that from SDC. I just thought that anyone planning on going to Oakton would be interested in seeing the actual fee breakdown in a real setting. IMO, it's not always easy to figure out the "real" cost of a class just by reading a school's tuition & fees pages. You can get close but it can be confusing.

Rachel you are saying that the cost per credit in higher in summer semester, I was planning to take some courses in the summer but if the prices was the same i would take some, but thanks for the advice I will have to think about it.
