Polk State Accepts Sophia and Alt Credits!

[MissRN]

I'm confused, it looks like Polk state gave you 3.0 gpa for everything... A,B,C it all says in the gpa column 3.0. Am I reading that correctly?

You're right. It does look a little confusing looking back on it. Went to look at my full transcripts that has my RA courses. It's also next to the RA courses like that and it seems like it's accounting for the credit hours of that course all the way across. There's 2 courses on my transcript that were worth 2 credits each and was listed in the GPA side of it as well as a 2.0. I think their system calculates the points earned for the grade of course divided by the hours to give the full GPA at the end each of the semester. 

Are you looking into Polk State?

Yes, I am looking into them. I was thinking of doing nursing through them, possibly WGU. I'm a paramedic so I can do the transition/ bridge. 

Finishing all prerequisites on Sophia/ straighterline, just to prepare when I'm ready. 

There's a chance of me moving to south fl though... So it's up in the air. 

Thank you so much for the find... I assumed Polk would not accept Sophia. Seeing your post was a big help for future planning.

Oh that's cool! My husband is currently a firefighter/paramedic in the Central FL area. He went the traditional route, lol. Polk State has been a godsend when it came to accepting Sophia. I earned them through the year of Covid lockdown and it was offered for free. I didn't want all that time spent on those going to waste! Plus at the time I wanted to pursue nursing before family life got extended. Going for computer science now. Still wanted to have a Florida AA with those ACE credits in case I were to go back for nursing once the family schedule allowed it.

I'm glad my post helped! Good luck!
