For some reason, I had it in my head that I had to have all transcripts in by end of December to clear the academic audit.
Here; this is an excerpt from the email I got from Jennifer Stark, Director of Academic Records:
That's why I was concerned about the timeline. (Shakes head) There's just so much to absorb, and it's been hard for me to keep everything straight.
Far as capstone, I just meant I'd stop work on it in order to get those last credits in. And I did.
Last night, I asked advising if it would slot in.
Today, I received an email saying it did, so I started around the same time I started this thread. Unwilling to wait on responses, I went to study.com via TESU (useless), set up an account, took the course (27 quizzes) with a 100 average (three retakes), went through the pipeline to take the proctored final (pain in my tookoos), took the 70 question final, (said it scored me 63 out of 70 = 90% right??), then I filled out that form to get a transcript sent (unlikely).
I have learned:

Quote:The next deadline to apply for Graduation is January 1, 2018 and the degrees will be conferred in March 2018. All TESU course work must be complete by February 1, 2018 and all transfer credit must be postmarked by January 1, 2018.

I have learned:
- You cannot, as the esteemed Joe said, take a proctored final for college credit while in any "free" or "trial" periods. But, it apparently takes discount codes.
- You literally need to write down (or photograph) your exam code, and if you are using a fill-it-in system, write your Study.com password down too. (Especially if you use something isolated to keep RPNow out of your business.) (Sigh). Once you're in their software, you're in.
- It asked me to leave it alone for 15 minutes after I took the exam, ostensibly to 'upload' my test results. While it continued to record my desktop AND mike AND camera. (shrugs)
