ACE Credit Registry Change? Transcripts Services Ending

[ss20ts]

I just talked to a support agent at Sophia. They currently have no idea what's going on. The agent said that they're still "finalizing" things and they should know more in a couple of hours. So no idea if the process from Sophia -> Acclaim is supposed to be manual or automatic if you've already got Sophia courses.

It MAY be a good idea to contact the other less-obvious providers (TEEX, The Institutes, etc.) if you don't hear anything by the end of the week.

Someone at Sophia does know what's going on because all of their courses have badges already on Acclaim. They showed up last week. Now the customer service reps may not be trained on it yet.

Here's a response from TheInstitutes.org regarding their Ethics online course:

"We are sorry, but we do not offer a badge for completion of the Ethics course.  In order to receive a digital badge it is necessary to have the CPCU designation and be a member in Good Standing.

If you have any other questions, or if there is anything else that we can help you with today, please let us know."

So, say goodbye to this ACE course. November 31st is the last day you can order your old ACE transcript from ACE website.

However, there's a way to keep your old ACE transcript forever. You can send your ACE transcript to Excelsior College's OneTranscript service. They said they will keep your ACE transcript forever.

So even if you don't get Acclaim badges for old courses and ACE stops issuing transcripts after this November, Excelsior will keep the records for you. But Excelsior charges $300 per transcript.

November 31st doesn't exist.

Sophia has ethics. Study has ethics. InstantCert has ethics. Lots of places offer an ethics course. 

What you're talking about with EC is a credit bank. That's not a transcript. The actual transcripts do not cost $300.
