How to use the new ACE system

[doom]

Thank you for the Aleks email! I contacted them now.

I am really liking the Acclaim Transcript system. Much better then ACE's, once you have your badges!

I very much dislike the Acclaim system. The badges look very disorganized and cluttered and there's no way to see on your dashboard when you actually earned a given badge. I do like that you can at least sort by name or supposed earn-date but I would still prefer to have the old system back.

Agree, and I would add that not only you cannot see when you earned a badge but even worse the Acclaim transcript shows the badge issue date and not the date on which the course was completed.

I just looked at my transcript, and it shows the date credit was earned for 1 provider, and the actual day the credit was earned from another (my ALEKS Intermediate Algebra course says Issued on: 13 April 2011; my Study.com courses say Issued on 3 December 2020).  They definitely need to fix that.

Mine aren't either, I requested a few weeks ago and they said it would take a few weeks.  Chatted a bit ago, let's see what happens.

Hello all!

The company that issued transcripts for ACE prior to Acclaim:

Credentials eScrip-Safe
9435 Waterstone Blvd, Suite 260
Cincinnati, OH 45249
1-847-716-3005

Credentials eScrip-Safe/Parchment Inc./Avow Systems Inc. are all linked together.

And it looks like Credentials eScrip-Safe is itself the result of a 2014/15 merger between Credentials Solutions and eSCRIP-SAFE.

The combination of Parchment and Credential Solutions is the latest in a series of similar acquisitions in the credentialing business. Parchment bought AVOW Systems in 2012, and Credentials Solutions bought eScrip-Safe in 2014.

Always gets me worried when I see services like these rapidly consolidating. It's never a good thing.
Put it this way: the consumer is never the beneficiary.

I'm going to say that 2012, 2015, and 2020 mergers could hardly be called "rapid" consolidation.

Dear Student,

You are receiving this message because you requested an academic transcript from ACE’s Learning Evaluations (formerly CREDIT) Registry and Transcript system.

ACE has discovered, due to a processing error, that your request was still in process when the service ended and was not delivered as expected. We are currently working with our former transcript provider to fulfill your order, however, delivery of the transcript may be delayed.

We understand the inconvenience this error may have caused for you and will be issuing a refund to you for the transcript fee paid.

It is important to note, ACE is transitioning our transcript services to Credly’s Acclaim platform and our former Registry and Transcript system is no longer available for transcript requests (effective 11/30/2020).

You will soon be able to share evidence of your achievements on social media platforms and have access to free academic transcripts without additional approval processes!

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

We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused and hope that you will have an opportunity to take advantage of the new credentials!

Respectfully,

ACE Learning Evaluations

Of course they can. Don't be silly.
