ACE Transcripts and ACP

[adavis84]

If a course is listed both under the ACPE and the course provider's own name, is there an advantage either way to which version you select for your ACE transcript? All my old SL courses are on my ACE as SL, but I just finished another SL course that's also on ACPE and was curious what others here are doing. Hope I didn't miss a thread that covered this already.

I think others have added both.

Some schools specifically accept ACP, but aren't familiar with the individual providers, so it that case it's better under the ACP name.

If you have them both on there, does this ever create confusion over duplication of courses?

For sure 100% add them both ways.

There are enough examples of a course being accepted under ACP that isn't accepted directly from a participant, that you want to be SURE to get the credit in the form you'll need.

I don't think the duplicate will matter much for most people's needs.

I ended up adding both and TESU marked one as duplicate. TESU marks all ACE courses as coming form the same source on your eval (TESU-ACE) regardless of whether they come through ACE or are straight from the source (like SL) so I don't know which one they marked duplicate (not that it matters). The only trouble (for my tastes at least) is that it makes the eval and unofficial transcripts a bit untidy by adding unnecessary lines.

They mark the courses as duplicate and "ruled ineligible", so if these do end up on the official transcript later, it may/may not require some clarification if you have employers/school admissions who are combing over the transcripts. It may/may not come across as unusual that you repeated a course that was P/F when you already passed the first one. I'm not worried because my transcripts are a nightmare anyhow given I have 5 schools and a ton of ACE credits. Most employers don't look at transcripts and grad schools are varying degrees of picky about ACE to begin with anyhow.
