    I have checked several accredited online universities but they are all too expensive!

    Anyone can suggest a way to satisfy the credit hour requirement (For new york)? I am short on 17 credits!

    Thanks in advance

    @Luma196 – My university did not accept CLEP either. After hours of research like yourself I found an Accredited University called Excelsior College. Its basically an online university which I used as a credit bank. I had all of my CLEP credits transferred to Excelsior.

    You do have to pay a one time fee for Excelsior but it wasn't nearly as costly as taking classes. All CLEP credits transferred here are included with the one time fee.

    When it came time to apply for the 150, I just sent in 2 transcripts:

    -141 credits from my undergrad university.

    -9 credits from Excelsior College.

    Hope this helps!

    American Public University is really cheap at like 325 or 350 a credit hour for graduate level classes.

    Here's the link to their site: https://www.apu.apus.edu/index.html

    Check out LSU. It is what I did. Some of the classes are really challenging and I'm pretty sure the Tax class is partly why I passed REG. If you go through their program (which is super cheap to apply for if you have the prerequisites), you'll need to complete 15 hours worth of courses (all of which are the specific ones needed to sit) and you'll get a Certificate in Accounting to boot. Last I remember the per class cost was in the $400s but it might have gone up slightly.
