Does Straighterline Replace Failed Courses From Previous Colleges?

Depending on what you need you might think about taking some community college courses (if they fit in your degree plan). It will be significantly less expensive than TESU depending on where you live. Or find out what your old college has as a policy for retaking those same courses. Then you would at least have some recent graded courses on an actual transcript. It just depends on your long-term plans. If you don't plan on grad school and just want to finish the degree you could most certainly finish up with ACE credits. But if you are thinking about continuing your education after getting your Bachelor's I would definitely look for some graded courses somewhere.

On most transcripts, they apparently cannot see the dates you got those grades. In that case, a person might need to provide an additional transcript from the school where they did poorly? To show how old they were? Maybe the employer or grad school would take our word for it that the 1 school with low grades was a long time ago.

I will have to double check my transcript but I am 99% sure my transcript is listed by term (I.E. FALL2016)

Checked My Transcripts from Hudson Valley Community College, Oakton Community College, and my girlfriends University of North Carolina Greensboro all list credits out by TERM so they all have the dates. Maybe I am the odd ball out and only have saw transcripts with dates.

Looking at the picture posted by JSD that transcript also lists dates taken actual courses. Look like transfer credits is the only thing that doesn't list out dates and that makes sense but I am sure my original CLEP transcript has dates. Otherwise how do Computer degree know if all the required credits are taken within XX amount of years.

Yeah I was only talking about transfers. The low grades from years ago, on a TESU transcript. I said that someone might have to prove those low grades were from years ago by sending the original transcript. Otherwise how do they know that the low grades were that old? They could have been from last semester, or they could be 20 years old.

I agree. Some community college courses are quite easy too, but I would suggest taking courses in the area of study instead of taking the easiest you can find.

I think that COSC has a way to get letter grades from SL courses.

The transfer courses on a TESU transcript do not show grades, just units.

TESU transcript won't show grades from transfer credit therefor no one would know the grade was sub par to begin with.

Oh, I keep forgetting. So, just find a grad school or employer who doesn't ask for the original transcripts I am sure most will excuse credits which are very good, if they did see the originals.
