Question about failing a B&M class and then testing out later... - Katzepatra - 04-27-2013
Ok so do to my own mix up, I missed a test for my Macro class and it shot my grade from a B to a C. The Final is more weighted so I may be able to hang on to my passing grade for transfer however if I should fail/get a D how would this affect my transfer to TESC? What I mean is that I would plan on CLEP (now that I've done the class) I was just wondering if that D would still be reflected in my GPA as I know the CLEP is p/f.
For reference, I am switching from a Business major at my CC to a Communications major at TESC and would later like to do the MBA of Social Media Management from Excelsior.

Isn't anything transferred to TESC only counted as pass/fail or credit/no credit? I'm under the impression that you get letter grades and GPA for only what you take from them. Example: i took an (online) CollegePlus ACE-accredited course and got a B. But it only shows as "credit" on my TESC eval. I'm not sure about B&M courses, though. Can anyone chime in?

A "D" is not failing at TESC. However, I don't think they will accept Ds for English Comp or area of study courses. TESC does not include transfer credits into your official GPA. However, TESC does use transfer credits to calculate your GPA on the evaluation for quality control purposes. If a course brings your unofficial GPA below a 2.0, then it will not be used in your degree plan and you will have to an alternative to replace it.
