COSC Credit Registry Won't Accept Credly

[Transferologist]

I had Credly send my transcript to the COSC Credit Registry and I got an email from a registrar stating Credly is unofficial and that they do not accept it. Has anybody else experienced this?

In the past I've sent ACE transcripts from before they were Credly and it was never questioned. I have numerous credits I have no idea how to get transcripts for other than Credly, such as my Google certification and CSM Learn.

Is there a way to get official certifications for those credits or is it just Credly?

They require official transcripts from the individual providers that they have agreements with, ie: Sophia, Straighterline, SDC, Study.com. Their partner agreements require direct transcripts, not a 3rd party service like Credly. I think the only exception is CSM - because Credly is the only way they can send out the scores and I think that is in their partner agreement.

COSC doesn't accept Google for credit. The only non-RA credit they'll accept is listed here: https://www.charteroak.edu/cpl/credit-for-courses.php

Unless you already have about 30 UL credits, COSC is not advised. You should switch to Excelsior, TESU, or even UMPI - depending on your needs/situation.

That said, for CSMLearn, I think you can contact their support and they'll be able to straighten things out with COSC on your behalf. Their email address is support@smilabs.org

They will take the Google Certs because it is considered Workforce credit via ACE.
