Penn Foster will a D transfer for ACE credit?

[skyfall123]

As a PFC student, tbh I think their modified grading scale (although often not in my best interest) is fair. All exams are open book, you can look up the answers as you are doing the tests, so the harsher scale is appropriate imo.

My point is not to whine or try and justify my son's lack of preparation or foresight, it is to inform others that if by chance they do get a D, bypass PF and go straight to ACE for credit. The people at PF act as if they are Harvard and miss the concept entirely that some people take PF courses strictly for ACE credit and that ACE merely requires a 70% or above to pass. It is not PF's call as to what ACE's requirements are, even though they impose their particular arbitrary set of criteria and refuse to submit a passing score to ACE. The fact that ACE happily took it says it all.

There are posts from a long time ago on IC where students with D's took PF's word as gospel and wasted $300. This new post is for others who might find themselves in that same situation. Go straight to ACE.
