Grade Transfers

Thanks, Jennifer, that is very interesting and useful to know. I just wanted to clarify, so I can use this information to our advantage.

So, is it true that whatever COSC enters into the transcript first (pass/fail vs grade), that is what stays on the transcript, even if the same course comes in later via a different method?

For example: If our son took Intro to communications through SL, put it on the ACE course list and transfers it into COSC via ACE, then it would show as pass on the COSC transcript. Later, suppose he takes C++ programming and wants to have a grade assigned because it looks good for future Graduate School admissions in a computer science field. If he has his SL transcript sent to COSC, both courses would be on it. Will the "pass" stay for the Intro to comm class or would it then be replaced by the grade? I assume not.

When your son would take the C+++ and you send it to COSC, if you use SL's transcript, you will have the option of clicking the tick box next to JUST THAT COURSE. So, the communication course wouldn't be sent twice- just once from when you sent the ACE transcript.

I think you understand it correctly- just be really mindful of the sequence that you follow the steps in the right order. You might want to keep a list (I keep a list because I am managing the transcripts for 3 of my sons and I would go crazy otherwise lol).
