Hey eveyone!
I am applying to grad school..(why o why do i procrastinate.)
Since they asked for transcripts from all my schools. Should i send a transcript from straighterline, aleks and seminary Extension?
Cause aleks said they dont have my grades my school does. i asked tesc they dont have them and neither does ace (great!!)
btw I graduated from tesc with no gpa tested out of all courses.
Btw i was attempting to calculate my gpa via those online calculators. Don't know how accurate it is because I inserted the grades from the three above educational org. ( the only grades i have).
Is that how they are gonna calculate my gpa?! I really need to know my gpa asap.
any help much appreciated!!

Your scores are not available from ALEKS once you close the account or switch to a new subject area but they should be on ACE's website (and when I say scores I mean that you passed):

As far as GPA goes, this calculator is accurate:
Calculate Your GPA
just fill in the number credits at each grade level and then it will do the math. Then again if you are talking about exclusively test out courses or exams then you still won't get a GPA because they most likely wouldn't assign a grade to them since they are pass/fail. If you went to TESC and all of your courses are CR grades then you simply don't have a GPA from TESC or otherwise. I don't see how they can calculate a GPA for you based on pass/fail courses alone.
My completed "non-traditional" credits include 27 credits from CLEP, 30 credits from DSST, 6 credits from ALEKS, 19 credits from FEMA courses including PDS, 3 credits from NFA courses, 10 credits from ACE Workplace Training, 3 credits from a TESC TECEP exam, and 3 credits from a TESC PLA course.

I suspect cooper is pretty much right. Where are you applying for grad school? Perhaps a solid score on a standardized test like the GRE or GMAT would help? I would be shocked if you could find more than a handful of schools that would accept or recognize a straighterline or aleks transcript...it's just too far out of the norm.
There are pleanty of Masters programs out there that won't care about a GPA...what are you hoping to study?

I'm always happy to complete the free application waiver for those applying to WGU (I get a free gift from WGU for this). Just PM me your first/last name and a valid email so I can complete their form.
