Straighterline Hides Negative Transfer Experiences
#3
Unfortunately, SL (like ALEKS) is simply a private company that has sought ACE evaluated credit status, you are correct that they are not a college, I'm not shocked that they won't post your experience. Any college -like yours- chooses what credit (if any) they award, and your college has decided not to award credit for ACE evaluated courses. Using SL with the intent of earning credit at any school that doesn't openly have a partnership with them is RISKY. I've said before here, I'm not a huge fan of SL- I don't hate them, but this is a predictable problem that's likely going to come up many times.

Your other comment, about TESC, is going to get you in trouble too. You're going to attempt a credit launder which I can nearly promise you won't work. Colleges want original sources, so getting it onto a TESC transcript doesn't make it become TESC credit. It still is, and will always be SL credit.

You could attend TESC and earn credit because TESC awards credit for SL courses, but otherwise, you can contact your college Tarrant again and maybe change their policy change-etc.
