Coursera SAS Advanced Programmer Certificate Transfer

Thanks spohara, good to know that one comes in also.

I did find this thread where a few people were going to try to transfer the advanced certificate and one person did get the STA-399 course credit:

So it seems like I just need to carry on, complete the certificate, get the ACE badge on Credly and then transfer that transcript.

Your problem was, you tricked the advisor by mentioning Coursera rather than stating they were ACE credits.  You have to be really careful to explain things in a way they'll understand, and you threw him off.

Ahhh, yes I was too hasty in sending my email and should have remembered from seeing here - don't spook the advisors!

LOL, you're not spooking the advisors, it's just confusing them by giving too much details on what you want to do that's really alternative... Advisors are there to help you but their methods are the traditional approach for you to take classes at the institution instead of transferring the max courses (which is fine for those who have tuition assistance, reimbursement or want the 15 credits for residency purposes).

True, too much information can make situations like these more confusing. I will just transfer it and keep it simple!
