Sounds like it’s an exceptionally unusual situation, which is why there’s so much confusion.

The advisor probably thought that you were requesting college credit for the classes, which is the responsibility of the articulation office.

But, the articulation office is right that they’re not the ones responsible. There’s zero chance of college credit if you do not have the courses on a college transcript, so there’s nothing that they can do.

In case you haven’t done so, what you need to do is make sure that it’s clear to your advisor that you’re not requesting college credit for these courses. What you want is a waiver of math 226 in your degree requirement (or, a waiver of math 226 as a prereq to another course, which would then substitute for math 226 in your requirements)

If you can’t get through to your advisor, you can try contacting the math department. But it’s really your advisor who should be helping you.

If you’d like you can PM me the advisor/dept, and if I’ve dealt with them before, I can give you some advice :)
