    Official Transcripts

    Err.. not sure if this sounds silly to all of you. Since WGU grades students based on competency, will the end transcripts reflects the credits earned for each course?

    Good question, hopefully someone will chime in.  Have you contacted WGU directly and asked them?

    Well, I did not. However, I did ask if their credits/competency points can be accepted into another university -  should there be a need to change University. No reply from them. =(

    It wouldn't be unreasonable for it to take a day or two for them to respond.

    Did you call or send an email?  I recommend always calling unless you have a direct point of contact at the school.

    Maybe I'm channeling Andy Rooney here, but....

    Cajun's right, calling is almost always more useful than emailing.  I find that's true at most schools, and I don't get it -- how can you inspire confidence in your online programs if you're bad at communicating with students online?

    Official Transcripts - grades

    Hi,

    Did you get any reply from WGU?

    I had raised the same question and was told that there will be only a PASS for the courses that I have completed successfully.To quote - "Because WGU is a competency based university, all students are expected to perform at a level equivalent to a “B” or higher, which is signified by the “pass” designation.  If you order official transcripts there is an explanation of the pass/not pass distinction on the reverse."

    The reply also mentioned that a change in the grading system may not happen soon, however, if there are enough students giving a similar feedback, a change will be considered. I have given mine. Other interested students may try the same.

    Thanks
