Any Final Things You Did Before You Graduated? - LevelUP - 03-18-2022
I was wondering if you all did any special things before you all graduated?
So far I:
1. Downloaded my academic evaluations with all completed courses.
2. Downloaded my grades for each course I took.
Anything else?

I didn't do anything just waited for the degree and transcripts in the mail. The transcript has all of the courses that you submitted to them and grades. The degree only requires 120 credits but my transcript shows over 150 credits. So my transcript makes me look like an overachiever...although I will probably never get asked for the transcripts ever again except if I decide to go for another degree.

I was wondering if they were going to send a transcript with the diploma. I have over 150 credits too. lol. Be interesting to see how everything looks on the transcript.
I got an email about the CeDiploma, might do that:

Signed up for an associate's degree so I would stay enrolled a while longer. Handy if you want to add any courses to your transcript, have access to the student portal or use student discounts after graduation.

Student discounts are good, I did the same... I added a Bachelors and wanted to use whatever benefits or perks that came with the student access.

The transcript doesn't list the courses as if it was a degree plan; instead, it lists them by where you took them. So for mine, I had:
TRANSFER CREDITS
CC#1 (listed by name)
CC#2
State Uni
Private Uni
ASSESSMENT CREDITS
TESU-ACE (included credits from multiple ACE providers, although didn't list who the providers were)
TESU-DSST
TESU-CLEP
TESU-NCCRS (again, didn't list who the provider was)
INSTITUTIONAL CREDITS
Listed by term, included the TECEP's I passed, the cornerstone back when it was a 1cr P/F course, and the capstone - my only course with a grade on the transcript, and that was my institutional GPA
It also listed the TECEP's I failed or didn't take as a "W" but they no longer do that.

For me, the main thing to do is to survive...

I opted for the extra $10 per degree to get the digital degree. It posted directly to my sons linked in which I thought was really professional looking. When applying online, I hope it will be a help too.
