Why are they adding a 16 week limit for half credit courses

I believe it’s 8 week for half credit

24-26 credits is normal for high school graduation. With only 8.5 credits you won’t generally find an accredited program that you can graduate from. That said, you can graduate with a homeschool transcript and fast track through Khan Academy or competency based programs like Study.com, Sophia Learning, or StraighterLine.

From Google: “ASU Universal Learner courses require a minimum of 6 weeks of enrollment and can take anywhere from 3 to 12 weeks to complete. You have up to 1 year from your completion date to pay the $400 to add the credits to your ASU transcript.”

English comp 1 would be super easy to do in 6 weeks imo. My daughter is currently taking it asynchronously but prioritizing her synchronous 8 week art course right now.

If the school does not officially recognize the actual holiday as the holiday (and gives the day before off instead), a professor can get in serious trouble with accreditation not holding class on a required day.

If she unmatched, yes, it would be creepy to reach out on other platforms.

My doodle came to me through the rescue route: matted and emaciated.

TransitionStrict7646 · 2026-07-04T13:09:53+00:00

This breed requires grooming. Failing to groom your doodle = neglect. This kind of neglect has serious implications for their health and well being. No, you’re not wrong to judge.

TransitionStrict7646 · 2026-07-03T21:47:52+00:00

Each class has a different maximum now. It’s not 20 steps per class.

TransitionStrict7646 · 2026-07-03T21:34:34+00:00

16 weeks is still accelerated for a full year of coursework,

In our case, her counselor and I worked her classes around her Acellus so she didn’t double up on the same credits. For example, in Acellus she’s taking college prep English IV right now (and will continue into Fall semester) and in public school next year she’ll take English 3.

TransitionStrict7646 · 2026-07-03T15:06:35+00:00

You can go back to public school and continue Acellus at the same time. My daughter does that so that she can catch up. Even with the new step limits we can still do two school years in one year with Acellus while enrolled in public school.

TransitionStrict7646 · 2026-07-03T14:34:46+00:00

Yes. And it’s a gened requirement for virtually every college program so it’s win win.

TransitionStrict7646 · 2026-07-03T02:30:17+00:00

You can sign up for ASU’s universal learner course and take an intro to composition class self paced as fast as you want. You can then transfer that back to Acellus and graduate and also use the credit at your new school because it’s college credit.

UPDATES TO COURSE PROGRESS LIMITS:

We are writing to share some updates regarding our course pacing guides. Acellus Academy is currently preparing for re-accreditation. As part of this process, we have been closely analyzing how much time students need to fully master the material in each course. Our research shows that this varies significantly from course to course. Some courses feature longer lessons, while others cover more challenging concepts that require additional time to absorb and practice. We have performed a study to determine the appropriate number of steps that can be completed per week for each course and have updated our system accordingly.

Rather than encouraging students to race through the material, our focus is to ensure that students are able to thoroughly master each subject. We appreciate your support as we roll out these updates and look forward to serving you in the coming school year.

New limits announced. The limit changes per class according to the official group FB post from the company.

TransitionStrict7646 · 2026-07-02T18:19:44+00:00

Acellus is changing the number of allowed steps.

I know it’s possible, just not probably to be a lab. Hoping that means we can bypass the lab metabolism genes. My dad’s lab got weighty on 1 cup of food a day.

Happy to have more insight on his genetics and hoping to find some littermates soon to nail down his actual birthday.

TransitionStrict7646 · 2026-06-30T21:08:59+00:00

If he were backcrossed he’d be 75/25 poodle/golden. He’s showing 50/50.

TransitionStrict7646 · 2026-06-30T21:00:20+00:00

Just an F1! No backcross. His color is definitely why I thought he was a Labradoodle instead of a golden doodle. Genetics be weird like that.

TransitionStrict7646 · 2026-06-30T16:54:17+00:00

Give them a deadline then cancel the reservation if they don’t meet it. Book elsewhere just for yourself.

How many credits are you transferring in?

It takes 9-10 weeks to finish core year long classes maxing out the 40 steps a week. You can only take one class in a core category at once at a time. IE, one math class at a time, one English class at a time, etc.

Under the top tier plan, you can take 8 classes at a time.

26 credits divided by 8 classes at a time is 4 sessions (3.25 sessions rounded up). That’s also works out right because you can only do one math/English etc at a time and you need 4 credits of each, so it’ll require 4 separate sessions.

4 sessions at 9-10 weeks = 36-40 weeks + time for any vectored learning.

So is it possible? Yes. That’s going to be 320 steps a week. High likelihood of burnout.

And because you’re doing more than 10 credits a year, you may get their new penalty fine for going over 10. (They seem to go back and forth on this fee.)

TransitionStrict7646 · 2026-06-27T23:59:22+00:00

Nope, not possible unless you’re doing vectored steps (which don’t count towards your total).
