English Composition ENC 102 - alternative

Thanks, but ONU is not for me. There are some aspects of my identity that conflict with their strict biblically-inspired honor code (they call it a "Lifestyle Covenant"). While this probably wouldn't matter for an online student, it's a strong sign that I am not welcome at that institution.

I called CLEP and the College Board disability services lines today and didn't make any progress. Although they list an accommodation process for CLEP at home, it doesn't appear to actually work. The form they provide is meant for high schoolers taking AP and SAT exams; there's no way for me to fill it out correctly as an adult. The representatives weren't able to help me with it. Nobody at College Board seems to know what to do.

I contacted an organization that is advocating for students needing accomodations for digital exams, and will be talking with their coordinator soon. They successfully fought College Board on AP exam accommodations last year, so I'm hopeful they can work something out.

A few local technical colleges have reopened their testing centers with limited hours. However, they're mainly just serving their own students at this point. Additionally, getting myself to either would be a logistical challenge. Still, I'll contact them and see what they can do.
