Taking classes while waiting for degree conferment

[cookderosa]

RE ACE - I'm pretty sure you can procrastinate submitting and naming your completion day.  To what extent, I'm not sure- but this happened to one of my boys a few years back.  When I audited /consolidated transcripts I found that there was one I missed getting sent to ACE and marked it the day I submitted. Went through fine.  Might be a coincidence, they might not check, might be specific to SL, who knows.  But, I'm letting you know it's something you might be able to try.

On your ACE transcript, it says "Date Completed", not "date added to ACE."

When you finish a course, and then add it to ACE, ACE asks when you finished the course.  Then, they go back to the course provider, who checks the date as well (it's how it's matched up).  I tried to add an ACE course once, I finished one day at 11pm, used that date, the course provider rejected it because I used the wrong date (apparently we were in different time zones).  So I resubmitted for credit using the "correct" date and it worked.

I totally hear ya. It could be that SL doesn't check closely or that we just got lucky. But whatever date he would have completed it would have been a guess for me. I'm sure I was off by a few months at least. I'm just saying it slid through for us on the one occasion. YMMV
