I took math 98 at the university of WA last fall. I had to take time off from school to deal with family deployemnt and move and a pregancy. I am trying to go back to school at a community college now. Two of the local community colleges have said that my transcript from UW is not complete because it shows that I took the class but does not show a grade. The university says that the class was not for credit because its not a college level class so they dont have to provide a grade. I paid for the class and dont want to have to pay for it again because I cant produce a grade. Is there any standard for transcripts or student rights that require a college to give a student proof of thier passing grade. I did pass the class All I want is something showin my passing grade. Is there any way I can make the college give me that?
My college wont give me transcroits with accurate grades. What can I do?
Make an appointment to talk to the REGISTRAR at UW. Explain to him/her your situation. They can override policy and provide the grade documentation that you need.
Good luck.
Reply:Glad it worked out for you :) Report It
Reply:Call the school--they can hold back the transcript if you have ANYTHING that's not paid--from student loans to a library fine.
If the grade is not on it, then they are NOT giving out official transcripts.
Reply:I think the college is within their rights here. This sounds like it was a remedial class, to make up for poor scores in high school math, or on the math portion of your SAT or ACT tests. How well did you do in math classes in high school? What was the math score on your SAT or ACT tests? If you had done better in high school, you would not have had to take this.
Reply:It's a remedial, non-credit course; there is no grade. They can't give it a grade because there is no grade to assign to it. It's one of those "you were there" classes. At best, it's a P
What you need to provide the new school is the catalog description of the course. That should be sufficient.
You could ask the registrars office at the U to create a grade called NC (no credit) for this sort of thing to ease transfers - they aren't required to do so but may be willing. They could also just assign it a P since it's no credit.
