TESU Graduation Email

[ladylearner]

I need help interpreting this email. The matter in question is highlighted in red. Does this mean that if I do not have all my credits transferred to TESU by September 1st then my TECEPs will not count?

We are currently waiting for any outstanding transcripts necessary to complete your degree requirements and your August TECEP Exam grades for PSY-350. Your file will be reviewed again on September 2, 2016. If your outstanding transcripts and final grades have been posted to the University and your degree requirements have been met, we will certify your file for September 2016 graduation. If your final transcripts and final grades are not received and posted by September 2nd or you have not met the requirements for your degree we will notify you that you are not being certified for September graduation and your file will be reviewed again for December 2016 graduation. You currently need 10.66 semester hours; 3 sh in Diversity, 6 sh in the Area of Study at the 300/400 level with a grade of C or better, and 1.66 sh in Free Electives to fulfill your degree requirements. Your enrollment program requires that you take a certain number of Thomas Edison State University courses before you can graduate and you have 4 credits left to be completed, to fulfill that requirement. Please Note: Upon successful completion of your current in progress TESU course, the residency requirement will be fulfilled for September 2016 graduation only. If you do not meet the requirements for September 2016 graduation, you will be responsible for completing the 16 semster hour residency requirement. If you do not intend to meet the academic residency requirement of the University, you must pay a residency waiver fee of $2,000. Please contact the Office of the Bursar at (609) 984-4099, to submit this payment. If the residency waiver is paid by September 9, 2016 you will still be considered for September 2016 graduation.

It sounds to me like they're giving you extra time to get everything in bit that your enrollment will lapse after that. You should write them back to confirm, though.
