University of Phoenix Misinformation given Online Nationwide
UoP was on the list of online universities used by my old work so I gave it a shot. I was going to community college and took basically all prerequisite classes such as college level English, algebra, history, pysch, etc. I was told that I would be getting credit for all my classes by my student advisor. It wasn't until who ever else reviewed my transcript that I can't get credit for 4 of my classes: pre-algebra, algebra 1, algebra 2, and modern college mathematics. Now UoP is making me take another algebra when I've taken 4 math classes in college! I feel like I was misinformed by my advisor to get me to enroll. Also, when I enrolled in health care administration I was told it included a coding and billing certificate and it doesn't! It's an electronic medical records certificate! Is there anything I can do? I am not happy about taking that extra unnecessary class!! And being almost 16 k in debt !!

I want to add that even if the math were college math classes, if it were longer than one year, you would be required to take it again. That is a federal regulation - even in the same school. So if you take a math class as a prerequisite to another math, but wait 1 1/2 years later; you have to either take a test to show you can take it or retake the math class.
For most other classes, it is seven years. Schools are nothing more than a business trying to make money. Once you realize that they are not here for you, they are a business, you will succeed. You want to succeed because employers care about that piece of paper.

This is a good case of "I don't know what I don't know". In other words, students don't always know the right questions to ask.
Your math courses may have been taken at a college, but they aren't college level. College level math starts at "College Algebra". Your courses are considered remedial - they get you ready for College Algebra. They wouldn't transfer to any college that I've ever worked at. If you look at the course numbers, they probably begin with a "0".
As for the certificate, they either lied or misled you. That's regrettable, but there's probably nothing you can do unless you have it in writing.
Good luck with your education!
