Do free credit courses listed in the wiki affect GPA or are they pass/fail? - camjenks - 03-28-2018
I just signed up for the free courses listed in the Wiki (2 from sophia, the institutes, and TEEX). It looks like they should be fairly easy to knock out, but I'm not sure about the TEEX ones yet. Do they transfer into TESU as graded or is it just pass/fail? If they're graded, I'll obviously want to get as high a score as possible.

They only transfer in as PASS, no grade. Failing has no impact on you, you just don't won't receive credit - as you can't add them to your ACE transcript without a pass in the course.

Thanks!
And just to build on that- all ACE courses/exams will come in as pass/fail at TESU, not just the freebies.
