    Already tried Univers of Phoenix and my university ( University of Arizona) doesn't accept. Any suggestions appreciated. I literally just need math to get my degree :/

    Arizona has an online program, but I wasn't able to access the list of courses. As a current student you might be able to.

    UA Online

    P.S. Go Wildcats!!! (My son is an Arizona grad)

    Isn't the interesting part of this thread the fact that ASU won't accept credits from the University of Phoenix?

    I never read into things like this. It's certainly possible that ASU has a blanket rule about not accepting UPHoenix credits. But I've found that the main reason schools tend to not accept credits from schools like Phoenix tends to revolve around issues with programmatic accreditation, age of the credits or simply the course that you took not being transferable to the new program because it isn't the same course.

    When I was completing my degree with CTU, I had my transcripts sent back to Scranton. My thought had been that I likely had enough credits to complete my Scranton degree rather than have a degree from CTU. They accepted a good number of credits. But they would only accept something like 9 credits in business because of AACSB restrictions. I didn't have enough psych credits to graduate from Scranton with my B.A. in Psych and my business credits at CTU weren't going to help me switch majors to a B.S. in Business (at Scranton) so I stayed the course with CTU. But my science and math transferred back to Scranton easily.

    So it's a fact that makes me go "huh" but the reasoning could be much more mundane than one might assume.

    You're probably right but there's no fun in your explanation whereas my thinly veiled suggestion is much more intriguing.

    I'm eliminating the "wrong course" explanation because if it's the wrong course they won't accept it regardless of where it was taken. I'm also rejecting the "credits too old" explanation because it looks like the op hasn't even taken the course yet. I'm trying to figure out a way to build a conspiracy theory into this situation. I'll have to get back to you on that.

    BTW, The OP is going to the University of Arizona, not Arizona State University.

    Tangent: It irritates me how it seems so many states have "State Name University" and "[State Name] State University" as it always causes confusion.

    The fact that Pennsylvania used two other state names for at least two of their public universities (California University of Pennsylvania and Indiana University of Pennsylvania) was mentioned as a reason to move when my wife and I were deciding whether to migrate to New York.

    You never mentioned what type of math course (algebra, calculus, stats?) and what level it is required in (lower level, upper level?).
    There's more than one school in Arizona that you can take these courses from, be it a community college for the $, or another university.
    If you just require any math course, have you checked your school (UOA) will accept ACE credits? I read it will for military programs.

    If that's the case, you can take a cheap $20/month subscription of ALEKS courses, or take a $25 3 credit course from Saylor.
    Your options are plentiful, as you can take a Study.com or Straighterline course for that...
    And if the school accepts CLEP/DSST, UEXCEL,TECEPS, go that route... anyways, these are your options, pick 1.
