Appreciate anyone with input or who has been in a similar situation.
I have passed the 4 exams and satisfied the work experience requirement. This is strictly about an odd situation for the hours requirement that I was unable to find any prior discussion about.
After passing my final exam about 2 years ago, I started working full time, and also decided it would be smart to get the additional 30 credits via a MAC. When I applied to sit, my only deficiencies were 12 upper level Accounting credits as I had earned 24 accounting credits and 42 business credits during undergrad. This meant if I wanted to , I could have taken 4 upper level accounting courses, and then 6 courses (18 credits) in anything pretty much to get the extra 30 hours to 150…. I wish I chose this method.
Well, Before being able to take the core level courses of the MAC program ( upper level accounting) I was forced to RETAKE the “equivalent” of the undergraduate level accounting courses of COST accounting, AUDITING, and FINANCIAL REPORTING, but at the “graduate level”. This was because I earned C or C+ in undergrad which was good enough for credit then, but there was a required score of at least a B to take the CORE level MAC classes.
These classes started with 6000, but they were for all intensive purposes, the same class. I took these 9 credits, and then additionally passed 4 UPPER level accounting courses (12 credits). Shortly after this I burned out from the last few years of cpa exam studying, working full time, and pursuing a Masters. I did not pass another Masters Class and then basically dropped my pursuit of it.
I have taken close to a year off from school, thinking that at some point before the end of next year (when it will be 3 years since my last exam passed) I would just go ahead and take 9 credits at community college online to be as painless as possible. This would be the 21 plus 9 credits to get to 30.
It just now hit me that part of those 21 additional hours I earned included 9 hours that were “equivalent courses”, and I am unsure if those would be acceptable. Like I said, I did get the 12 upper level additional accounting credits, so I hope that if the other credits could be in ANYTHING, then a repeat course is acceptable.
Any thoughts? The Florida Board could not answer, and the advisor I used to go to is no longer around. The people at the community college were clueless. I truly appreciate your input as I am currently unable to sleep and panicking.
