Transfering COSC

[dfrecore]

Ok.  Seems like I vaguely remembered reading one of the colleges transferring letter grades from SL...it’s been a long time.  I guess I confused it with something else.  Wishful thinking...

You can choose to send your graded (%) SL or Study.com courses directly to COSC and get a grade on your COSC transcript.  The courses you DON'T want grades from can be sent to ACE, and then get onto the COSC transcript ungraded.  There's a specific process you need to go through to make this all happen, and it's discussed here in a thread from cookderosa.

But schools don't transfer GRADES - they only transfer credits.  Your GPA that is earned stays with the school, and is only changed when you take courses at that school, or if it's at COSC and they will give grades for specific ACE courses.  But if you were to leave COSC and go to another school, your GRADES won't transfer, your CREDITS will.

BTW - if you do transfer to another school, if they don't take SL/Study.com courses (so they don't take ACE credit), then you won't get those credits transferred - COSC will only transfer what you've earned there at COSC, and they will list the SL/Study.com courses separately on the transcript so the new school can see that you transferred those credits in.  They would then want to see where those credits originated, and you'd have to show that they were SL/Study.com/ACE credits.

So the reason to take SL/Study.com courses and transfer them to COSC with grades is to give yourself more graded credits, and a better GPA at COSC.
