Graduating this May and will purchase Becker for all sections of the Exam. Does Becker count towards my 150 units? Also, would the AUD part of Becker count towards Ethics, since university “Auditing” classes count towards Ethics (10 units needed).

And, I had to retake a few business classes to be admitted into my business program because the classes had expired – passed them over 7 years ago (microecon, macroecon, and stats). However, I passed each of these classes with a C- or better the first time and passed with an A the next time. Can I count one class towards my Core Business requirements and the other class towards my Accounting Studies requirements? For example, I earned a C and A in microeconomics in 2005 and 2013 respectively. Can I double count this class in my Core Business requirements because both are passing grades? Or, allocate each class to my Core Business and Accounting Studies requirements? By the way, I plan to become licensed in California.

Thanks for your time and sorry for any confusion. I appreciate any feedback or suggestions.

If you take it through Devry/Keller it should. Mine did/does. You have to have it on a transcript for the board to consider it. I am in CA also. It is hard to say where they will apply any given class.

I don't think they will double count it or someone can get a CPA by passing x many times of Accounting I 🙂 JK

You have to earn college credits from a university or community college to count. So if you buy the material directly from Becker no because you're not earning college credits but if you find a school that offers a class that happens to use the Becker material then yes.

@MaLoTu
I thought the same thing – that Becker would count if it is on an “Official Transcript.” Otherwise the Review Course may not count. I need to contact my State Board (CA) to find out.

@marqzho
That's a good point! However, a buddy of mine told me he is retaking Accy 1 again to get his 150 credits. I do believe the title of the course is different from his original Accy 1 though. I do not plan on doing this because I want to further my education and he could be wrong.

Should I contact my state board (CA) to clarify? Thanks!
