"Okay....I think I know what's going on.
If you got your BOG through Pierpont via other courses and credits earned elsewhere and have no actual Pierpont courses on your transcript, the system will not generate an official transcript. That's just how it works.
This has happened with another student who needed a transcript, and I was able to write a letter of explanation for him to share with his employer and future university. Let me know if that will suffice. If you took no Pierpont courses, this is all I can offer.
I'm sorry I didn't think about this detail earlier."
I'll preface this by saying its past 1:00 am and I am up late on a Saturday night, Working my ass off for this degree. They need to get their act together at Pierpont. They have so many "Oops I forgot moments"
Oops I forgot, you don't get a concentration since you are transferring in ACE credits, Only after the fact was this detail added to the webpage in plain English. This was also never mentioned to me in my e-mails with Nancy.
Oops I forgot, I didn't tell you, you needed this one random class to raise your GPA, take this $1400 class from us. I then tell them no I'm not paying $1400 and that I am taking the class at my local Brick and Mortar for $800 with no aid because Pierpont couldn't tell me if I would receive aid for the class until I registered. It turns out I would have had it covered for $1400, but I found out through FASFA and not Pierpont after the fact. They wanted me to register and just go along with it; When I told them my concerns about the cost, they said we have a payment plan... like that changes the price!
Oops, I forgot, Your CompTIA certs are only worth one credit, Because according to Nancy they were worth one credit... The burden of proof should not be on me to track down other professors from other departments. Luckily the other department left a voicemail which I was able to use as proof when fighting for my CompTIA credit transfers. Without that voicemail, I would have been ****** on credit transfers and not one person would have cared.
This degree and program are ridiculous, I swear they make up the rules as they go. They are pissed because they aren't making money from it and in turn, they do little things like not give us a transcript.... and they say whoops!
If this is the case, I not only wasted 7 months and twenty-nine days, now I won't be able to apply to WGU or any college worth attending. If this is the case I will be writing letters and complaints to anyone that will listen.
This is not how you treat students. "That's just how it works." No nancy, That's not just how it works.
