Sophia transcripts are readily available on Parchment. They cost $5.25 and are electronically sent very quickly.
according to rachel83az:
Quote:TESU doesn't accept Sophia via Parchment. Nor do several other schools. If Sophia doesn't go where the other ACE credits go, they may no longer be worth anything to many people on this forum.

Indeed. Neither TESU nor Pierpont currently accept Sophia via Parchment. I know that other schools have been mentioned here but I can't recall which ones. Some do, sure, but others definitely do not.

Pierpont - AAS BOG

This is a really bad news. There should be a testing/trial period for this change to let schools adjust for this new kind of system. Or at least keep the old "ACE Registry and Transcript System" and if needed double the fees but keep it as an option.
Credly (Acclaim) is a private entity and it is just a matter of time they increase their service fees thus affect pricing scheme for Straighterline, Study.com, etc.
Acclaim has the monopoly, and we all know how that works.
I hope institutions look at Mozilla's Open Badges.

They may have to learn to adapt and get with the times. Education is evolving and they need to evolve as well. Parchment is a legit transcript service used by numerous b&m colleges and universities. I find them to be the easiest service to request transcripts through. Their platform is well done. The other 2 I have use could take some lessons on ease of use for on the front-end.

CSM is great. They streamlined the process months ago before I even knew ACE was switching to Acclaim.

Thanks for the tip. On my screen it was not that button, but something in the center of the page when I logged in and then a second click that said "I"ll get it later. Let's Move on".
and apparently after getting the badge just now, I got to do the course survey. Looks like I forgot to do the survey when I did the course. Finally have access to the career part. I guess I was so happy to finish and get it on ACE transcript that I didn't look before. 
thanks for help.

Got this email from ACE this morning and thought I would share
The link is here as well: https://elink.clickdimensions.com/m/1/88...02eb7dbd32
TAKE ACTION TODAY
The American Council on Education's (ACE) Learning Evaluations, formerly College Credit Recommendation Service (CREDIT) is excited to announce the next phase of our new digital badges and free electronic transcripts via Credly’s Acclaim platform. You will soon be able to share evidence of your achievements on social media platforms and have access to your academic credentials without additional approval processes!
[size=undefined]
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW[/size]
- Current CREDIT transcript services will end November 2020.
- Digital badges and academic transcripts on Acclaim will now be free for students!
[size=undefined]
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO[/size]
- Please ensure that you have added any recently completed courses to our current transcript system no later than October 31. This is the last day that participating organizations will have access to approve your request.
- You will still be able to order transcripts with approved courses through November 30—please submit your final transcript requests and pay the transcript fee before this date.
[size=undefined]
NEXT STEPS[/size]
- Once your training provider has transitioned to Acclaim, you will receive a notification in your inbox with a link from Acclaim when they issue a badge to you.
- Once you are issued a badge and have set up your profile, you will have access on the Acclaim platform to order free academic transcripts!
- If you have additional questions, please contact your training provider. Each provider has a different process during this transition, and they will be able to advise you on when to expect badges to be available.

RESOURCES
You can find additional information on our transcript site or in our frequently asked questions.

I'll be putting some of my Sophia classes on hold until I see what's going on with this Credly Acclaim thing. No point working for something that won't transfer over to ACE. Do we know if Sophia is working on adding this badge system? At least SDC, Straighterline, and a couple of other places are switching over.
