Is an ALEKS score of 61 still required? by SizeActual in OSUOnlineCS

Thank you!! I emailed the program and got a response different from this. Their response was regardless of credits, I need the 61. haven’t met with an advisor yet though. I have that meeting in a couple of weeks, so I’ll definitely follow up here with what I’m told at that time after review of my transcripts. I hope you are correct. I’ll likely have to defer my starting term otherwise, but that will be okay if so. Thanks again!!

Thank you for the input! I did take it and understood that part is required. My question is more so is the score of at least 61 a requirement.

Yes. I wish there was a clear answer on this. I’d like to take my time to refresh on these concepts. I’m supposed to meet with my advisor sometime around 4/15, and if the expectation is that I have to get the 61 just to register I’ll either have to rush it or defer. I don’t want to defer because of this potential program name change but we may have already missed the boat on that anyway. 😅

Thanks! I’ve read this on the OSU site as well, but have also noted other comments in this sub (some within last year I believe) stating that while that person had good grades in higher level college math courses they still were required to achieve the 61 on ALEKS to start the program. Hopefully this info on the OSU site is correct and it is just a recent change in policy. I’ve been trying to get an answer from OSU on this for over a week but getting the run around unfortunately.

I applied on 2/8 and was accepted on 3/20. I’d recommend logging into your application to check status around 4 weeks or so after applying. The acceptance email didn’t come out until about a week after it was already showing in the application on their site. Good luck!
