I'm unable to find any actual concrete data on their current accreditation. Perhaps someone here might know their current situation a bit better?
Getting back to the original question, I wanted to point out that ALEKS is not accredited, and never will be - the only entity that can become accredited in regards to this, is an actual school. There is no accrediting agency for course providers.
ALEKS courses are ACE-recommended for college credit.

Some people might think dfrecore is nitpicking here, but it IS an important distinction. Accredited = an actual college, recommended = ACE/NCCRS/etc.

I agree, it's an important distinction.
Make 2 piles: colleges and not colleges. 99% of the credits people in this community earn are from the "not colleges" pile. While you CAN take classes at colleges (that are accredited) the "not colleges" pile is evaluated by a third party (ACE in this case) and for that reason, colleges don't always accept credits from the "not colleges" pile. BUT, since the big 3 do, and since the "not colleges" pile contains DIRT CHEAP CREDIT, that type of credit gets used heavily to craft degrees around here.

I wish to take 3 courses on Aleks. I have already identified two: Stats for behavioral sciences & College Algebra with Trigonometry. I already have MAT-121 College Algebra credited into my Evaluation from GED-Math. I want to be sure courses do not duplicate.
I might actually like to do Calculus. There are very good courses on Edx & coursera. But they are not credit eligible. Any suggestions? I checked Saylor, but I am not very good with just following pages and pages of printed material for Math in particular. I would like something interactive, encouraging me to solve problems and learn.

I posted a little about this here: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...ive-review
I like schoolyourself.org as a very interactive way to learn math. Unfortunately, their calculus course is currently incomplete. If you want a full on class, ASU earned admissions has a calculus for engineering course starting next month. That's not really enough time to get up to speed if you're not currently comfortable with all the prerequisite knowledge. SDC, Saylor, and SL all have calculus for ACE credit but they aren't very good for learning the material. You could use free courses from schoolyourself, Khan academy, Coursera, YouTube various open courseware sources and edx to learn calculus material and then take the course for ace credit through Saylor, SDC or SL.

Thank you. I think that’s a good idea. To study using khan academy and take the Saylor exam.

Assuming you're transferring these to TESU, then College Algebra duplicates College Algebra with Trigonometry. Just take Trigonometry, that will come in as Precalculus (MAT-129) at TESU. As for the statistics course, all the stats courses come into TESU as Principles of Statistics (STA-201), so you might as well save yourself some time and take the ALEKS Introduction to Statistics course.
There are only three courses you can take from ALEKS that are ACE recommended and don't duplicate, which are:
College Algebra
Trigonometry
Statistics [any one of them]

Thank you. I will do that. Intro to Statistics, Behavioral sciences and business statistics- all of them duplicate?

Yep, they all come in as the same course (STA-201).
