Showing TESU grade equiv for CR
#7
(01-03-2020, 11:35 PM)Ideas Wrote: At WGU, the back of the transcript explains that CR is equivalent to at least a B grade or 3.0.

How can I prove to a school that my undergrad CR at TESU was at least considered a C grade by TESU?

More specifically, I need the school to see that TESU counted one of my CLEP exam scores as a C, plus one of my ALEKS or AP exam scores.

That isn't how it works.

All transfer courses, regardless of whether they are CR, PASS, or graded credits come into TESU as a course equivalency. Internally this means they just check off a box in the list of courses required to graduate. Those courses weren't taken at TESU so grades don't really come into play since they don't affect your institutional GPA. Transfer credits only affect your transfer GPA, but non-graded credits are ignored in that calculation.

Of course, TESU does require that certain courses must be completed with a minimum grade to meet degree requirements. So their internal rule of thumb is that all CR/PASS credits are considered to be the equivalent of a "C" for the purpose of meeting the TESU degree requirements. This does not mean that any other institution needs to follow their rule of thumb. In fact, most institutions will have their own evaluation rules that they follow.

The CLEP and ALEKS courses were not taken at TESU, so TESU would not make recommendations for how other schools should interpret those credits anyway. If you need a graded credit interpretation, it has to come from CLEP/ACE and I know CLEP stopped making grade equivalency recommendations more than a decade ago. It is up to the individual schools to determine how to evaluate such credits, heck many colleges don't accept CLEP or ACE at all. Even if they are used to complete a degree elsewhere, they are often dismissed when considering graduate degree applications, etc.

tl;dr version: It doesn't work that way. No college will care how another college interprets ungraded transfer credits from an outside credit provider. They only care about the courses that are taken directly from their school. For transfer credits, each college has their own approach to evaluation. This may or may not consider how the school transferring the credits interprets their own credits.

I hope that clears things up a bit.
