This is why you add it to your ACE account

Due to the recent changes of ACE approved course providers sending transcripts direct to schools I've seen quite a few postings of people asking what is the benefit of adding it to ACE at all.  I have an example of the why.  Last summer I took a course through Study.com, completed it and then added it to my ACE - it came is as an UL in my AOS.  That same course had a revamp when it's ACE renewal came due in the fall of the same year and now when I log into my Study.com it shows the course only 68% complete (it appears the newer version has extra projects) - if I had not had it added to my ACE account when I did complete it (before the revamp) I would not have any way of proving I had earned those credits. 

In my experience it's always better to add it, no good reason not to, and it's free to do so - so why wouldn't you.
