I can log on and my past exams and scores are listed, but it's asking me to re-enter all my info, including all my educational credit hours and dates. Am I doing this wrong? I wouldn't think I'd have to do this each time I register.

Do you need some sort of booze proctor?</p> <p>(I'm sorry, guys... I couldn't resist.) </p> http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/topic/anybody-took-lsu-online-classes#post-146391 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 12:22:43 +0000 Hiles 146391@http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/ <p>I think they're great. I have completed 3 and have 2 in process. They all count toward 150 for me in TN. You get an official LSU transcript just like you would for any other school in traditional classes. They will never know they were online, they just see the class name and grade on the transcript. I wouldn't say they are a joke. Some classes are easier than others but you teach yourself 100% so that can get tricky in some of the more difficult classes. They also have more higher level accounting classes than other distance programs like Advanced Accounting and Government/Not for Profit classes. Plus they are cheap and with my work and travel schedule I like going at my own pace. </p> http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/topic/anybody-took-lsu-online-classes#post-146377 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 11:48:09 +0000 Tebowwwww 146377@http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/ <p>I took three classes and Massachusetts counted them for my 150, and I assume NY would too.

I'm planning to take Auditing in order to be licensed in NY as well<br /> Does NY Board accept Auditing from LSU Online (they should as it's an upper-level class...starts with 3 and LSU is regionally accredited).<br /> I'm really having so much trouble with the NY Board (California gave my foreign degree 172 credits while NY gave 120) that I'm taking nothing for granted. </p> http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/topic/fought-ga-cpa-requirements-and-won#post-144055 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 13:56:16 +0000 HazeEastwood 144055@http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/ <p>I have a friend that told me she knows someone who got GA to include their introductory courses. Does anyone know or have heard of that happening? Georgia doesn't allow lower division courses. So you have to get 30 upper division accounting courses which is really a lot. Most schools you get 24 upper division courses. </p> http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/topic/taking-the-cpa-in-ga-instead-of-al#post-143455 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 11:43:37 +0000 someaccountant 143455@http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/ <p>Katie, I live in the 'ham and all of my family was safe from the tornadoes.

From what I've found from the Alabama board, I think I can transfer once I pass or meet Georgia's licensing requirements. </p> http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/topic/taking-the-cpa-in-ga-instead-of-al#post-143448 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 10:42:34 +0000 katfid54 143448@http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/ <p>I can answer question #1, but I don't know about question #2 (you'll presumably need to look at the Alabama board's reciprocity requirements to answer that question).</p> <p>As for your first question, I live in Texas, but am testing through Illinois. You can absolutely take all of your exams near where you live--no need to travel to Georgia. That's the great thing about the CPA exam being "uniform"--it doesn't matter where you actually TAKE the exam! </p> http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/topic/taking-the-cpa-in-ga-instead-of-al#post-143447 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 10:38:32 +0000 katiekanton 143447@http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/ <p>Hey, I have no advice for you, but just wanted to see if you were ok after the tornadoes.

I have found an online program at texas a&amp;m university-commerce (regionally and aacsb accredited). it is about 42 credits. I wanted to know if anyone knows if NJ and GA accept online classes to meet the education requirement to receive a CPA license. I am asking about both states b/c I am from NJ but considering moving to GA. Thank you! </p> http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/topic/delaware-cpa-license-certificate-requirement#post-142255 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 20:45:39 +0000 cpaguru 142255@http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/ <p>The answer is No. They have become single Tier since 2006. I am in the same shoes as you are in. But I do have 133 credit hours. So what I am planning now is to get that 17 hours online ASAP and apply through Illinois. They are also changing the game. Its going to be one tier starting July 2012. I do not think that there is any state that would give you the certificate for 120 credit hours with no work experience. The best bet for you would be to go for 30 more credits, then you may have few options. Such as Colorado and I am sure there are few other states..I have been going through the same phase...read my posts... </p> http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/topic/delaware-cpa-license-certificate-requirement#post-142247 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 19:23:22 +0000 JOKEKIDDING 142247@http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/ <p>hi all,</p> <p>Does anyone know if i am qualify for cpa license certificate in Delaware?

My question was, I did not go to any college for the Becker review. But I went to the Becker review classes. Becker itself provided these classes and it was not throught any colleges or universities. So I was wondering if I could use these towards 150 credit requirement.</p> <p>Also, I have passed all the four sections. If you need any help, you can count on me. I am staying free anyways, after passing the exams. And also, I love helping people.

For example, if you have any audit coursework in your transcript history, you cannot count the Becker exam prep audit review course towards your total number of accounting hours.</p> <p>Has anybody from Arizona, shed some information on this. If indeed this info is correct, how would I prove that I took the becker review to the board, it won't be in the transcript...Do you know what I mean...Thanks </p> http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/topic/first-time-applicant-question#post-142031 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 18:13:47 +0000 Herbieherb 142031@http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/ <p>Sorry wish I could help...Its been so long since I put up my initial licensure....I remember I didn't qualify at first, and they sent me a letter explaining what I needed to do, and yes they kept my money LOL...
