Send transcript after each course or wait? - All Seas - 05-05-2020
Hey All,
Just started my online degree journey and curious if it is best to send a transcript after each course is completed (or maybe a few) or wait until all courses I plan to take from that provider are done?
Thanks

I think that the middle approach is the best. Get a bunch of credits and then lock in. Doing it after every course takes up too much time. Waiting until the very end is a little bit risky because rules and acceptance change. I would also add a little exception and that is if it is close to June 1 or Jan. 1, send the transcripts because those are times when changes happen.

Depends on the school, and the credit.
If you're at TESU, you only get 2 evals until you're officially enrolled, so sending them one by one wouldn't matter. If you're somewhere else, not sure.
If you sent a transcript after each course, that's going to get very expensive, and not worth the price.
I would send them in batches - at least twice a year, to get them onto the eval before changes take place.
