I don't know how much that means, given that the thing was free, and they were answering a lot of questions in a short amount of time. Still, that was the info I got, and the info I'll probably go with for now.
for some reason I dont find that correct info - why would they give it different course numbers? May be who ever that was (webinar) is confused by the titles...was it an advisor? When courses duplicate they use the same course number -- example COS-101 used for both the dantes intro to computing and clep info systems.
Again, if you are an enrolled student, I would speak with an advisor, the expressline even. If allowed they can add both to your evaluation which is an approval.
I am not a tesc specialist, I'm just a graduate. I do know I received credit for both MAT 115 & MAT 121 through aleks; and I have been audited twice now for two degrees and those very same courses are again sitting on my current academic eval for the third degree...so I take that persons comment with a grain of salt. Of course YMMV.
