How Grad Schools view your GPA (including transferred credits)

[wildebeest]

Maybe someone can help me.

I am currently taking Sophia courses to transfer to UMPI BABA Supply Chain Management. In doing so, I want to transfer as many credits as possible and also get the best GPA possible. I know that Sophia and other transferred credits are not reflected within the GPA on the transcript of UMPI. However, some universities include grades from transferred courses when applying for their master's program. Therefore, 2 questions arise for me:

I.) Does Sophia show grades or percentages at all? (Not only on UMPI transcript, but also on Sophia transcript)

II.) How are transferred credits (from previous universities and third party providers) shown on the transcript? Is it possible to track which grade was earned?

Grades from previously attended colleges and universities will show up as A-C grades, but will not count toward or against your UMPI GPA. They won't transfer in anything below a C.

I applied to three graduate schools. Two accepted my UMPI transcript as it was presented with 86 graded credits and 60 ungraded pass credits. One grad school (the one I am attending) asked for my Study.com transcript as well, with numerical or letter grades included, so they could calculate my overall GPA themselves. There were no issues in any instance. (All were state universities, one in Arkansas, one in Kentucky, one in Illinois.)

A grad school may require your Sophia transcript for the same reason, but it shouldn't be too much of an issue.
