Are ALEKS credits accepted by most major colleges?

[cookderosa]

From what I understand, ALEKS credits are accepted by most major colleges and universities. Is this correct? I just want to make sure in case I decide to transfer to different schools. Thanks!

No one can answer what "most major colleges" do. ALEKS is non-traditional credit because it is ACE evaluated as opposed to being issued by a college. But, it is the TYPE of credit that can be "accepted" (transferred) by "major" (regionally accredited) colleges because of ACE. It's like asking if CLEP is accepted- not only is it up to the college, but then within the college it may/may not be accepted by your department. Example- say your college generically accepts CLEP credit. Now, the same college might not accept CLEP biology if you were a science major, but could accept CLEP biology if you are a history major. Also, you could take a class at your local community college and have it not transfer- but it is the type of credit that should, generically speaking, transfer. Hope that helps.

So, it is the TYPE of credit that can be accepted- specifically, it's up to the college/university you are earning your bachelor's degree from.
