College Algebra vs Intermediate Algebra: which one earns credit?

No. Intermediate Algebra is the course before it: Nebraska describes MATH 100A as a “Review of the topics in a second-year high school algebra course taught at the college level.” Its College Algebra comes after MATH 100A or a placement score, and goes on to functions, exponential and logarithmic functions, and systems of equations.

Often not toward a degree. Penn State says MATH 4 “may not be used to satisfy the basic minimum requirements for graduation in any baccalaureate degree program”, Nebraska says “Credit earned in MATH 100A will not count toward degree requirements.” and Montana says of M 095: “Credit does not count toward Associate of Arts or Baccalaureate degrees.” Some colleges give elective credit only: Gulf Coast State College's MAT 1033 “cannot be used to satisfy the math requirements for the Associate in Arts degree”.

That is your college's placement decision: Nebraska and Montana let a placement score stand in for their intermediate course. UPI Study's College Algebra asks for high school Algebra I or its placement assessment, and its first chapters review the intermediate topics: polynomials and factoring, rational and radical expressions, and linear equations. It is self-paced, so you can spend longer on those.

NCCRS recommends 3 semester hours, lower division, in Math among other subjects.

Its NCCRS recommendation lists Math, Accounting, Business, Business Administration, Business Management, Economics, Liberal Arts, or as a General Education Elective, or as part of STEM fields. Your college decides which requirement it fills.

Principles of Statistics. In the “One college math course” order on the Math courses page, it follows College Algebra. Your program may set its own order.

Yes: every UPI Study course is its own enrollment, so you can take College Algebra without any other course and transfer it by itself.

UPI Study sends it for you. Once College Algebra shows 100% complete, pay the $20 transcript on your Student Dashboard (www.upistudy.com/enrollments, "Get your transcript"); the dashboard then takes you straight to the transcript request, where you enter your college's address, and UPI Study emails it to them. Check spam for the confirmation email.

ACE and NCCRS have over 2,100 cooperating colleges that will consider accepting credits; the final decision is with the universities. NCCRS recommends Math 111 for 3 semester hours in Math, Business, Economics or Liberal Arts, among other areas, or as a General Education Elective; it has no ACE recommendation. Search your school in Find My College and ask your registrar which course it would count as. It helps to name the subject: NCCRS recommends College Algebra in Math.
