    Out of curiosity, I decided to email several Oklahoma colleges to see which ones will accept ALEKS and FEMA. The replies started coming in today and most of them are positive.

    From Southern Nazarene University:

    Delania,

    We do accept these, but let me add a little clarification. We would have to have official documentation or ACE transcripts.

    On the Aleks courses, we would actually need to look at the syllabus. For example, we do not accepting Beginning Algebra for math credit. It must be Intermediate Algebra. So there is a possibility that some Aleks courses don't transfer.

    With the FEMA courses, there may be a limit to the amount we would accept. Any upper division credit would have to be approved by the department chair of the area you are interested in studying. Let me give you an example. Let's say you had a FEMA course in Emergency Management Response and you wanted to major in business here. The Chair person of the Business Department would make the decision if that course would substitute for Principles of Management.

    That is a long explanation to say that we will accept the credit, but all of the credits may not apply to your degree.

    Let me know if you have any further questions.

    Dear Delania:

    SWOSU awards credit for any ACE recommendations if they are courses that we teach on this campus.

    Thanks,

    From the University of Central Oklahoma:

    Delania,

    After checking the ACE guide, UCO will award credit for the following ALEKS courses:

    Business Statistics

    College Algebra

    College Algebra with Trigonometry

    Intro To Statistics

    PreCalculus

    Statistics for the Behavioral Sciences

    Trigonometry

    Beginning Algebra and Intermediate Algebra could be used to meet a math deficiency, but you would not earn any credit hours.

    I could not find where FEMA is listed in the ACE guide, if you found them, please let me know.

    Sincerely,
    Jill Langston
    Coordinator of Academic Records


    From Western Oklahoma State College:

    Delania,

    Yes, we do accept ACE recommended hours for lower division education, but not for VO-Tech level. They also have to be equatable to a course we offer before we would accept them. I would have to see the actual transcript to let you know exactly what we would accept.

    I have not seen any of the FEMA hours you referred to. I would have to see an official transcript or document to be able to assess that for possible credit.

    Hope this helps,
    Lana K. Scott

    What are you perusing? I know our PLUS department accepts some ACE recommendations but we would need to check with them. If you are not with the PLUS department, I think we would have to petition to have it accepted.
    I know that doesn’t answer your question but let me know what you are perusing and I’ll take that from there.

    I'm still waiting for several replies so I'll post those as they come in.

    My youngest son, who hates math, graduates this year and was dreading college Algebra so this is good news for us.

    If colleges here are willing to accepts ALEKS, I'm sure there are many in other other states who will also.

    I'll follow up with the colleges that need more information on FEMA and keep everyone updated on that also.

    Hi Delania,

    We do accept ACE recommended coursework, but I don’t believe we have ever evaluated Aleks or FEMA courses. If you would like to submit official ACE transcripts, then we would be happy to review them. More than likely this might take a little longer than normal because we will have to send them to our faculty for review.

    It looks like OSU will only take them as electives.

    Oklahoma State University does accept ACE recommendations if they are baccalaureate level recommendations. They will transfer as electives with a neutral grade of “P” for pass. A student must submit an official ACE transcript to have the credit posted to their record as transfer credit.

    Please contact me if you have additional questions.

    Thank you,
