Sophia to UMPI Transcript

[wowzers]

Hello,

I have read conflicting reports on whether your Sophia credits show up with a percentage/grade on the Final UMPI transcript. Some time ago, people that transferred in using Parchment had reported that their Sophia percentages were included. Others that did'nt use Parchment said their percentages were not included. So it seemed that by transferring over by using Parchment you would have your percentages included until recently where I read that transferring over by Parchment no longer includes percentages.


Can someone who recently graduated, and ONLY used Parchment to transfer in their Sophia credits to UMPI upload their transcript or comment on how their FINAL UMPI transcript looks like?

It may have to do with when someone graduated as well. My transcripts show numeric grades. I graduated before anyone else on here as far as I know and my transcripts were sent with Parchment. A ton has changed at UMPI since then. I'm not sharing my transcripts with the forum. Sorry.

Obviously I wasnt asking to show your personal information. I think it was assumed that one would blot out personal/identifying information.

Thanks for your response anyways

I guess the bigger question is, why does it matter?

Mine showed up as P.

You can't pass ACE classes off as RA classes if you ever go anywhere else ("credit laundering"), and they don't factor into your GPA, so it doesn't matter.

I was thinking of doing something post-bach that requires classes to be graded. That's the reason. 

It cant possibly be considered credit laundering as it shows that it was transferred from Sophia, STD or whoever in the transcript anyways.

Have you asked Parchment about the grades? Might be worth contacting them or checking with Sophia how to get grades on a transcript.

There's really isn't a grey line, it's pretty black and white, and really will depend on what UMPI or any other institution provides for those transferred classes. So, for example, if COSC, UMPI, or any other institution provides a credit but indicates it's CR/P or whatever designation it uses, these will not show up with a letter grade anywhere, even if it goes to Parchment and you're asking for a letter grade. The only place to get letter grades are coming from the course provider, be it a college or alternative credit provider.

Is the post bacc (post bacc what btw? Cert, MA?) looking at the degree overall or individual classes. Sophia classes are ACE credits and many schools don't accept them as valid classes regardless of percentages but they will accept the overall degree since its from a RA school.

More details are needed

It depends on the school in question. Some of them will accept the percentages on the Parchment transcript, even if UMPI/TESU/etc. has just a Pass/Credit/whatever.

It's not credit laundering, you're trying to get a better GPA for admissions... but you're also trying to get something else to show up on a transcript when it won't actually matter. These letter grades you're looking for aren't going to affect your admissions as these are external GPA showing from other institutions you've attended, it doesn't change your cumulative GPA as these are pass/fail classes. They'll know where the classes came from even if it's on a college transcript, they'll know everything about it by the time they read the info, it'll indicate transfer credit, thus those are not grades given by the college that granted the transfer...
