I think that is up to the receiving schools policy on ACE . My best guess based on the following** from Straighterlines FAQ section "How do I earn credits through ACE?" is that you only need a 70% to pass , as with other ACE credits such as ALEKS, they would be pass /fail if coming in on an ACE transcript .
It seems you have a choice between how you have them transcribed, so if getting a grade matters, perhaps stick with a partner school transcript such as FHSU for Straighterline courses.
** 1. Be sure the college in which you want to enroll will accept ACE recommended courses. If not, consider one of Straighterline's partner colleges.
2. Successfully complete a Straighterline course (70% or higher final average).
3. Sign up for the ACE Transcript Service found here. There will be a $40 fee to sign up which includes the submission of one transcript.
4. Have the transcript sent to the college in which you want to enroll.
