ACE Credit Registry Change? Transcripts Services Ending

[harrit]

I don't understand why this is so confusing. ACE isn't stopping their business, they are still certifying the classes and awarding the credit, it just shows up via acclaim. Colleges that accept ACE will accept ACE via Acclaim.

If it works any other way, it would invalidate the whole purpose for the existence of ACE, and go against their mission.

"ACE delivers member value through high-quality professional learning programs that leverage a suite of blended solutions aimed at transforming institutions and diversifying the talent pipeline. ACE also offers services that demonstrate its commitment to postsecondary access and success, including the evaluation of corporate and military training experiences to ensure that all quality learning is connected and counted. Cutting-edge research and member insights on key higher education issues inform these offerings and help mobilize the community to enhance institutional performance."

The move to Acclaim to handle the digital credit certification does not change that. These colleges and universities choose to be ACE members, and likely knew this was coming and were promoting this to reduce the amount of paperwork and manual work involved in handling credit transfers.

That doesn't mean it will be easy, and that doesn't mean it will be perfect out of the way, but when you're innovating and transforming a very established and entrenched process, it will be a little bumpy for a small number of weeks.
