Along with many of you, I've been concerned about losing credits through this migration process. However, I appear to have gained something as a part of this change.
Back in 2013, when I was in high school, I had the opportunity to obtain some entry-level IT certifications for free. Two of them were in the Microsoft Technology Associate series. This year, when I learned about alt credit, I remembered them. The exam titles were in the ACE database, but my certification dates were not within any of the windows. An email to ACE confirmed that I could not add these to my ACE transcript. However, I later found that TESU and Strayer had their own evaluation which covered one of the certificates. I eventually figured out how to send the registrars a transcript code from Microsoft, and that one certification was subsequently added to my academic evaluation. I thought that I wouldn't be able to do anything with the other one.
Recently, I registered for an Acclaim account as part of the ACE transition. Waiting in there for me were all those old IT certs from high school. There was a CompTIA cert that I had completely forgotten about and won't get me any new credit, with the original 2013 issue date. Alongside that were the Microsoft certs. However, the date on them is recorded as November 2016, which is when Microsoft joined the Acclaim platform. That date does match up with a valid ACE recommendation. Indeed, the ACE endorsement is showing up for both Microsoft badges.
I'm curious to see what will happen when I send a transcript from the new Acclaim system to the schools. Which date and recommendation will they recieve? I'm waiting for TEEX to get their badges figured out, then I'll fire off a transcript to TESU and Strayer to see what happens.
Anyone else gain anything from the new system?
BTW: I never received the email survey from ACE/Acclaim/Credly about migrating to the new system, and none of my old ACE stuff is showing up yet. I have emailed ACE support about this.
