I'm assuming we have to ask that a transcript be sent to TESU from Study.com.
Based on that, how often should we be requesting that happen?
TIA,
Marie

Yes, you have to submit a transcript request at Study.com in order for them to generate and send a transcript.
There is some manual work involved on both ends of this transaction, and you should respect that by not requesting an excessive number of transcripts. Generally, I have transcripts sent to TESU (from any provider) when:
1) There are pending changes to transfer equivalencies or policies, and I want to make sure that my credits are accepted the way I planned. Study.com has a help page with upcoming changes to its credit courses, which you should check periodically. You should also check the ACE or NCCRS review status of your courses and try to complete and transcript them before the end of the current review. Finally, TESU often makes substantial policy changes on January 1st and July 1st, so it's a good idea so send in transcripts for any pending credits just before those dates.
2) I need the credits for an upcoming requirement or deadline, such as satisfying prerequisites, unlocking the capstone, or graduating.
3) I've completed a substantial number of credits since my last transcript. I wouldn't want to be caught on the wrong side of a sudden policy change and have my work go to waste.
4) A substantial amount of time has passed since my last transcript, even if I've only completed a few new courses.
5) I'm not sure how a transfer credit will be evaluated and applied to my degree plan, and I need that information to figure out my next steps.
6) I have completed the courses I intend to take from a provider or institution for the time being.
In summary: I send a transcript when I have a good reason to do so

That's right, you should generally want to send them in batches, so for instance, you complete 3 last month, 3 this month, you can then submit all 6 at once instead of submitting it one at a time to have it reviewed and added to your academic evaluation...

Keep an eye on this page that lists upcoming Study.com changes (e.g., to make sure your class is not getting downgraded to lower level or expiring):
