TEL learning for RA credits

[ss20ts]

Thanks guys.

Let’s just say you have the minimum ra requirements for tesu. (I think it’s 30). Amongst those credits are a couple of c’s from 20 years ago. But on your cap and Corner you and let’s say another recent course you get all b’s. So now you have 3 current b’s. Will graduate school look at it as you have a 3.0 or will they factor in the courses from 20 years ago ?  I understand that this  is hypothetical because different programs and schools have Different policies.

In my experience, grad schools are looking at your last 60 credits no matter when they are earned. They calculate your GPA based on those 60 credits. For example, I completed 48 credits at UMPI in 2020-2021 and 21 at CSU Global in 2020. I also have 2 associate degrees and lots of credits that are floating attached to none of my degrees. When I applied to grad school, they wanted my UMPI and CSU Global transcripts to verify that my last 60 credits earned had a 3.0 GPA. I had a 4.0 GPA so there wasn't a problem. They didn't ask about my previous credits because they were beyond the last 60. If I only had 59 credits instead of 69, then they would have asked for another transcript from the last school before those 2 to get to the 60 credits. 

This is how it seems to work for many grad schools. Not all, but many. In my research, almost all verified the last 60 credits with a 3.0 GPA and that your bachelor's degree was actually conferred.
