RE: All Sophia Courses Free as of today - 3-19-20! - daharamu - 05-06-2020 I have a quick question, I finished Visual Communications just before last weekend and it says "Congratulations, you've successfully completed all course requirements. It may take up to 2 business days to finalize your course and prepare your official transcript." I go to COSC, do they just send it to my college and the college updates my transcript automatically, or does anyone know how it works? Thank you! RE: All Sophia Courses Free as of today - 3-19-20! - rachel83az - 05-06-2020 Set up your transcript through ACE by going to https://www2.acenet.edu/credit/?fuseaction=transcripts.main and creating an account. As you finish Sophia courses, you add them to your ACE transcript. When you've done all you can/all you want to, you go to ACE and tell them to send a transcript to COSC. Transcripts cost $20 so you don't want to be sending them after every single course you finish.

Also through Sophia.org do they grade courses or is it just pass/fail? RE: All Sophia Courses Free as of today - 3-19-20! - rachel83az - 05-06-2020 Sophia courses are just pass/fail. As long as you get 70% or more on the whole course, you're good. IIRC, there are some colleges/universities that will give you a letter grade if you do send transcripts directly from Sophia to them. But it's not necessary. The ACE transcripts are just fine.

Transcripts cost $20 so you don't want to be sending them after every single course you finish. COSC is the college that will give letter grades based on official transcripts. These will not be calculated within the official GPA. That said, if you scored an A or B, you might want to send direct transcripts because that looks pretty good. My understanding is that you can't go back and change from credit/no credit to graded after the fact, so you should at least think about this.

Transcripts cost $20 so you don't want to be sending them after every single course you finish. I have gotten over 90% on the two courses I have taken so far on Sophia.org, so I think that's a good idea to send them direct in that case! Thank you very much for your advice! RE: All Sophia Courses Free as of today - 3-19-20! - Michelle779 - 05-08-2020 Has anyone transferred Ancient Greek Philosophers over to COSC? Will it satisfy the global requirement or the non-US history requirement?

Hi Michelle, I checked out the Sophia Charter Oak Equivalency Guide here: https://charteroak.sophia.org/#courses Unfortunately, they don't list Ancient Greek Philosophers, which means they likely don't have an agreement on it yet. It might be treated as an elective. Best bet is to shoot an email to admissions@charteroak.edu, or touch base with your advisor. |
