How do you describe AOPS Intermediate Alg on a transcript?

[Porridge]

I have to make a transcript and course of study for DD13 in order for her apply to a speech program. I'm not sure how I should list Intermediate Algebra (AOPS).  From what I've been told, AOPS Intro to Algebra B (or second half of INtro to Alg book) counts as what most high schools consider Algebra 2.  If that's the case, then do I call Intermediate Algebra:  "Algebra 3?"  "Honors Intermediate Algebra?" "other...?"

And is it ok to copy and paste the course description from the AOPS website to use as the course description for the transcript?

[Arcadia]

I did this for community college and for SPCS. They did not need a course description. The 1 is in superscript and I have a legend under Course Providers.

"Introduction to Geometry1

Intermediate Algebra1

Precalculus1

Calculus1

...

Course Providers:

1.      Art of Problem Solving"

I  had it as honors intermediate algebra and mostly used their course descriptions but fleshed it out a bit more. Though some count introductory algebra as algebra 1 and 2, I didn’t. It was algebra 1 and honors intermediate algebra for us.

I believe my course description was lightly edited from the textbook blurb on the AoPS website, or maybe from the textbook itself:

 

Honors Intermediate Algebra

Topics covered in Intermediate Algebra include a review of basic algebra topics, complex numbers, quadratics and conic sections, polynomials, multivariable expressions, sequences and series, identities, inequalities, exponents and logarithms, piecewise-defined functions, and functional equations.

Text: Intermediate Algebra by Richard Rusczyk and Mathew Crawford, Art of Problem Solving (AoPS)

I counted the entire Intro to Algebra as "algebra 1" and the Intermediate Algebra as "algebra 2".
For the course descriptions, I used the ones from the AoPS website

You're not putting course descriptions on the transcript. If at all, they go into a separate course descriptions document.
I used the course descriptions from AoPS and attributed them:

"The course descriptions below are taken from the publisher’s website http://www.artofproblemsolving.com/"

I was thinking that if you did all of Intro and Intermediate that it seems to be really 3 honors level courses. Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Intermediate Algebra. The first two mirror traditioanl scope & sequence. The later captures everything covered beyond that. IMO, the hours involved surely merit 3 credits.

You can totally save yourself time and use the syllabus from WTMA for their two AOPS courses. Intermediate Algebra would be everything beyond that.

I called it what AoPS calls it 

Intro to Algebra - 1 credit (0.5 credit for each A and B course)

Intermediate Algebra - 1 credit
