On your ACE transcript, it says "Date Completed", not "date added to ACE."

When you finish a course, and then add it to ACE, ACE asks when you finished the course.  Then, they go back to the course provider, who checks the date as well (it's how it's matched up).  I tried to add an ACE course once, I finished one day at 11pm, used that date, the course provider rejected it because I used the wrong date (apparently we were in different time zones).  So I resubmitted for credit using the "correct" date and it worked.

I have looked into it and at $199 per month I would rather not rack that up until I'm closer to June 7th. However, StraighterLine is $99 and I have already paid for a few courses I have idle there so I'm considering reactivating my monthly account and can take the final proctored exam this summer. There is not much I can do there but there is a couple of business courses I may knock out by end of June.

This may not work. My son took a class at Study.com and took the final exam while his account was active. Months later he submitted the assignments. I added the course to ACE using the assignment completion date and had no problem getting approval for ACE. However, when the Study.com transcript was sent to TESU I noticed the course completion date on their transcript was the date of his final exam.

I totally hear ya. It could be that SL doesn't check closely or that we just got lucky. But whatever date he would have completed it would have been a guess for me. I'm sure I was off by a few months at least. I'm just saying it slid through for us on the one occasion. YMMV Wink
