Another Straighterline Question

It has been brought to my attention that it may be unusual for schools to make it appear that an SL class is intrinsic to the school.

Rickyjo my man....what I have been trying to tell you is this. Just because one college accepts credit doesn't mean another will. For instance if you took your AA degree earned from Excelsior (using ACE Credits) and sent it to your state college with the intent to pursue a 4 year degree from them....it is likely that the state college would not give you the same credit for the same courses as Excelsior, especially if they don't accept ACE Approved courses like ALEKS. If you look at your final Excelsior transcript you will see that Assessment credit is categorized differently then transfer credit.

What makes FHSU unique is that they give letter grades for 4 SL courses, and the courses do appear as if they were taken at FHSU. If a SL partner college transcribes the SL (or any other) courses as pass/fail, regardless of the course description, then a huge red flag goes up telling the receiving college that the credit was earned non-traditionally. Many, many colleges won't accept pass/fail credit of this kind since the origin of the credit is in question.

Keep in mind that Excelsior gives graded credit for DSST exams. If you were to send a final Excelsior transcript to another college (that doesn't except DSST exams) expecting them to accept the credit, then you will likely be disappointed because Excelsior shows DSST as the original source of the credit.

The way that FHSU transcribes the 4 SL courses is unique.
