    I recently completed an online course at LSU called "Advanced Accounting" ACCT 4022.

    I requested and have received a copy of my transcript from the LSU Office of the University Registrar.

    The transcript that I received shows that I took the Advanced Accounting course with the word "CORRESPONDENCE" above it.

    This is a HUGE issue for me as you will see below.
    I need the transcript to say "ONLINE" and not "CORRESPONDENCE"

    The ACCT 4022 course is described on the LSU web page at the following two links:

    http://www.is.lsu.edu/courselist.asp?cat=Accounting&nid=102&pg=
    LSU Independent and Distance Learning

    Please note that he first link above has the following as the course description:
    "* This course is available online, as well as through traditional correspondence."

    Also the fact sheet for this course states the following:

    All studyguide materials for this course are available in an online format.

    The error on my transcript is that the course that I completed is shown as a "correspondence" course and not an "online" course.

    This difference may seem minor but is critical for my qualification to take the Delaware CPA exam.

    The Delaware CPA exam requirements allow online courses but does not allow correspondence courses.
    (See Below)

    COURSE REQUIREMENTS

    * Courses earned at a community college or 2-year degree granting institution are acceptable.
    * On-line courses are acceptable when a applicant receives credit for the courses at a regionally accredited U.S. university.
    * On-line courses are NOT acceptable from International schools. These courses must appear on an official transcript.
    * Correspondence, CPA Review and/or CLEP course are not acceptable.

    A link to this requirement is below:

    Anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?
