I applied for the BOG AAS program at Pierpont back in May of this year, and initially, I sent transcripts from my files which were ultimately rejected.
I then went to my community college and had them send my official transcript to Pierpont. I never heard back from them or received my credits, so I emailed them about this in August.
They replied and said that my community college transcript had "no work with a letter grade to be recorded on it."
I am not sure how to get these credits verified at this point and I don't want to just throw away two years of education credits.

Have you contacted the community college with the info provided by Pierpont? Did you complete courses with grades besides D, F, or W? Dropped, failed, and withdrawn courses won't have grades. How many credits did you earn at your community college? Pierpont's requirements changed back on October 4th. Did you apply for graduation?

According to your previous thread, you have letter grades for those classes. When your college sent the transcripts over, did it indicate that you have letter grades, or did it just indicate the classes you have completed or passed? I would follow my recommendation on the degree path, but change it to UMPI BABA PM & IS instead of UMPI BAS with minor, you can skip the BOG AAS and get the UMPI AALS on route to the BABA - free!

The transcript I got through my CC portal had grades on it, but I had to request the digital transcript be sent to Pierpont. The transcript shows two dropped classes and then shows the credits for all the courses I completed prior to leaving CC. I will look into this UMPI program to see if it is a better fit. Thanks

Did you request an official transcript to be sent to Pierpont? I'm sorry the transcripts have been such a struggle!

Since early October Pierpont has required that you take 12 credits from them to get the BOG AAS. Any advantage that existed in a cheap and flexible associates degree is gone.
