I will finish the Sophia course tonight and send that in as well.
I would recommend you apply for the program as soon as possible (today, the application is free). From your initial post, it seems like you currently have 57 total credits. I would transfer in your local community college credits first and submit your Credly transcript as soon as you complete one more course. You only need 60 credits so do not wait to complete the other 2 courses. You can submit the Sophia transcript via Credly or Sophia themselves. I have only submitted via Credly: you receive a completion badge from Sophia once you complete a course and you can send your transcript for free.
I am helping my brother out and the timeline has been much slower than normal. While I hope this experience is an outlier, there have been similar posts recently. Please apply as fast as you can.
6/24 applied and submitted transcripts electronically from 2 universities and Credly.
6/26 accepted
7/10 mail with no credentials arrived. Brother called IT and got credentials, also called Admissions and confirmed they received every transcript the previous week and were being processed.
8/31 ROAR still empty: nothing has been processed yet...
The delay is out of the norm from my experiences at Pierpont, but the combination of the recent changes coinciding with the start of the fall semester may explain it. He will be calling the Admissions office on Monday.
