Charter Oak Enrollment Questions

[TinHead]

I am looking to enroll for the fall semester to finish the final 2 courses (Cornerstone/Capstone) in my degree plan and I was speaking with the school today as was told that the fall semester begins August 22nd 2016 so my first question is:

1. When should I apply to the school considering the fall semester begins on August 22nd 2016? Is it better to do so earlier, as I do not know how long the application process takes to be approved?

2. Should I have the transcripts sent to the school before I apply? I would assume the would hold on to the transcripts once they have been sent for a small period of time (ie: 30 days) but I am unsure.

3. Since Saylor and Study.com are ACE recommended, would I only need to apply for 1 transcript (that would include the credits from both institutes) or do I need to get a transcript through both institutions? Just trying to save money

4. How do I get the transcripts sent to the school? Am I able to do so digitally --or-- does it have to be via snail mail?

Thanks!
