Straighterline grades? - PrincessButtercup - 08-21-2015
Are straighterline grades pass/fail on the ACE transcript or do we actually get a numbered grade?
Also, do we need a 70%+ on the final exam only to pass or is it for the entire course and if its for the entire course, how much does the final count for?
When do we receive our final grade for the course?

They just show up as courses on the ACE transcript with their recommend credit values.
Check the syllabus for the course. In my experience I only needed 70% overall to pass and get credit, BUT I know there has been instances with certain courses where people didnt get over 70 on the final and had to go back and forth with SL to get listed as a pass in their system. If memory is right I think most cases were with the psych course and they officially made changes to the syllabus after multiple people had issues, not sure if it was in favor of 70 on the final or not.
Again double check the syllabus for the course and go by it.

Listed as Pass/Fail.
For most classes 70% cumulative score for the class (per syllabus) is required to pass. From what I remember there was only one course that had a requirement for the final to be 70% (as listed in the syllabus). Most of the time I hit 70% total without the final. In alot of those cases, I just randomly selected through the final. Not my best scholarly work, but it speed up my progress tremendously and is still listed as a pass on my transcript.
