ALEKS is a website that has self paced courses that are ACE (American Council on Education) accredited. If you sign up, $20.00/month and take one of the accredited courses, once you have reached a tested 70% you can request that they approve your credit through ACE. You must sign up with ACE and eventually, you will have to join their transcript program which cost a one $40.00. This onetime fee includes one free transcript. After the free one, each additional one cost $15.00. So for instance, letâs say you needed College Algebra. You could go to: ALEKS -- Assessment and Learning, K-12, Higher Education, Automated Tutor, Math and sign up for that course which is ACE accredited ($20.00 per month). You would also sign up for ACE ($40.00 onetime fee). Let's just say you are good at math and you complete the minimum required 70%. You request credit through ACE and request that ALEKS approve the request through ACE. Once approved, the credit will be placed on your ACE transcript. You can have one free transcript sent to the school of your choice. So, all in all, you have $60.00 tied up in the course that could cost you $1000.00 or more depending on the tuition charged by the school of your choice. All this being said, you need to make sure that you school accepts this type of credit, ACE credit that is.
