Looking for online 6-8 week PreCalculus Class.

In summary, the speaker is in need of an online Pre-Calculus class that can be completed in 6-8 weeks, as they have a deadline of August 22nd to register for Fall classes. They have previously taken Pre-Calculus but had to withdraw due to personal circumstances. They plan on checking with their university's department chair to ensure the credit will be accepted. The speaker is also concerned about the accreditation of online colleges and suggests doing research on accredited options. They also mention the possibility of taking a test to prove their qualifications.

I need to locate an online Pre-Calculus Class that I can start ASAP and finish by August 22nd. This is very important to me. Otherwise I can not register for two classes I wish to take this Fall. I have already had Pre-Calculus once but under less than ideal circumstances (family, financial, and other factors) -leading to a Semester withdrawal. However, I can easily fly through this course if I can find a 6-8 week course. Also, I intend to check with my department chair at my University to make sure the credit will be accepted.

Thanks,

Matt

The big problem is that many online colleges aren't nationally accredited, so you won't properly get credit for taking precalc. I don't know how deadlines work for online classes, but here's a list of accredited colleges that I found from google:

My advice would be to start there and do some research.

Isn't there a test you can take to prove your qualified?
