Right, how would they calculate it though? Or would each individual school be different? The credits that are bad are over 15 years old. Pierpont is saying they will still accept the old credits. How does a school like TESU treat those?
You're looking at it wrong. When your new "clean" credits appear on your Pierpont transcript (I use the word transcript to mean your record with them) there is no change to the credit. Since Pierpont is simply transferring in the credits earned (not grades) they've said they'll accept them for THEIR AAS DEGREE. Your old grades aren't changed or over-written by earning an AAS from Pierpont.
If or when you apply to a school for a bachelor's you have to send everything - the only reason to send your AAS transcript is if you earn credit with them. Wherever you apply for your bachelor's degree doesn't care that you earned a degree, they are evaluating credits - so they'll want all your old credits. BUT, again, since you'll be transferring them, no grades will come over. Then, you'll have a new bachelor's degree with new GPA. Hypothetically, if you dropped out of wherever you were earning your bachelor's and went somewhere else, you'd do it all again- everything to the new school. If you took more classes, you'd add that to the list.
(in my son's case, since he won't have Pierpont credit, there is nothing new for a new college to evaluate- they'll still need all the old/original credit) Does that make sense?
