Bad news, Everybody!

[Maniac Craniac]

Such as? I've been working towards a bachelor's in math. There is no CLEP, DSST, TECEP, ECE or Ohio University Exam for me to take. It has been a while since I looked into what upper-level math courses are available out there, but even if they are there I'm going to spend thousands more dollars that I don't have compared to my less than two hundred for the GRE test.

Sorry, I don't mean to get cranky. You are trying to help. Thank you! This is just a very scary thing. My life might get jerked around bad for, like, the fourth time in two years.

I feel for you.

For lower level credits, CLEP will help you out a bit, and so will ALEKS (some of their courses are ACE approved). To finish it out, maybe you can check the online course catalog for Clovis Community College- they are VERY inexpensive and work out to about the same credit-for-credit cost as CLEP.

Also, Louisiana State University has some very inexpensive self-paced courses (about $80/credit, if memory serves). A bit more expensive than them would be the large list of self-paced courses from Brigham Young University ($150/credit).

Those are some ideas, however, since I'm posting from my phone, I am unable to look up their course catalogs and don't know which of these schools will have a decent selection of math courses. I can do some research for you later.

I think anyone who is in doubt should just ask Excelsior:

1) Is it true?

2) When?

3) Will enrolled students be grandfathered under the old policy (and do I need exam approval before the policy change)?

If the answers are YES, TOMORROW and NO, respectively, then you can panic. Otherwise, now might be the best time to... calm yourself... and get to the books!
