Although it says it's accredited, it seems pretty sketch. I would avoid it simply because any community college will have more credibility than this online non-degree granting "college."

I would be very cautious of any college that has "testimonials" on its front page.
I would run away from any college that is an online school and has its web page looking like it was designed by a drunk 6 grader.
Flippance aside, regional accreditation is granted by 6 agencies: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regional_accreditation
Credits from any other college, be it "regionally accredited" by an unknown .org (current college) serving as a front or "nationally" by another .org sponsored by college (DeVry, Appollo, ITT) will not transfer to any other institution, nor do they count toward any pre-requisites as defined by AACOMAS/AMCAS (and many medical schools are very specific that all credits must come from colleges accredited by the aforementioned 6 commissions).

Oh, and at 245USD a credit for a fake class, you are much better off getting on-line Biochemistry from a real college.
Check out Oregon State University's BIOCHEM on line (obviously it does not include lab). http://ecampus.oregonstate.edu/soc/ecatalog/ecourselist.htm?termcode=all&subject=BB
(350 = baby biochem, 450-452 = big bad biochem, brother of PChem).

Are you trying to retake a lab online?
Pics of the virtual lab?

My prof failed me for the lab and the class. I was in the hospital and I came home and was out for finals week. He claimed i did not notify him in the allotted time. I spoke to the dean of science and they all agreed with the prof. I had notes from my doctors and everything. 1 school in my area teaches biochem. Its the school i attend. There is only one teacher. The man who screwed me. I retook the lecture online to replace my F but now i need to replace the lab
So, why not retake the class from him? Did you **** on his desk or screwed his wife/daughter in revenge? If the answer is "no" then I doubt he gives a damn about you and the F he gave you.
As just one of thousands of undergrads he taught, you are simply unimportant. Thus retaking a lab, TAed by one of his minions will not present any danger to you and your grade will depend on your knowledge.

Before I started pharmacy school last year, I had a few prerequisite courses left. I did them all at CalCampus. It wasn't sketchy at all and the school was very professional about everything. The exams are proctored and it's nice to be able to do everything else on your own time. And the school is accredited, but they're just not allowed to grant degrees. So what I did was e-mail the pharmacy schools I was targeting to make sure they would accept CalCampus credits. And they all did so it worked out for me. So far I've taken a total of 11 credits worth of classes from CalCampus. Right now, I'm in pharmacy school but also working towards a second bachelors degree and I'm taking some of the classes for that on CalCampus.
