Has your grade ever mattered?

[scorpion]

I understand that all of the external education providers which are ACE/NCCRS recommended transfer in as pass/fail or credit received only. However, has anyone had an experience where the grade earned or completion rate was actually investigated? E.g., a transcript review, an advisor meeting for a graduate program, a job application.

I'm curious if there is any benefit whatsoever to keeping grades high at providers like Study.com or Saylor compared to just passing for transfer credit, and I'd like to hear anyone's experiences involving them.
