Graduation audit questions

[saraholson]

It depends. If you completely withdrew from the school in a way that leaves no transcript, then you might be OK. If you just withdrew from the courses and still have a student record and transcripts with Ws, then you do. That old school will come up in a search that any school will do before letting you graduate. Some schools will do that search before letting you enroll, but other wait until graduation time.

It usually isn't that hard to order transcripts. Just giving the right name and social security number is usually enough. You might even be able to do it online.

The rules they have are kind of a catch-22. I can't order my transcript online without my student ID #. I can't get my student ID# without submitting a scan of a valid photo ID (in my old name). Can't be expired. I actually HAVE an old expired one, lol. They would not take it.

So I am just kind of getting bounced around like a ping pong ball.... gonna keep trying

Yeah, this has to get escalated, and to a person with a brain.  OMG!

A lady I spoke to suggested I just print out the paper transcript request and mail it in, and 'see what happens'. Couldn't hurt to try.... you never know. I know that they do tend to put people on the phones who are not very experienced and it can be pretty hard to ever get anybody who knows what they're talking about, on the actual phone. So maybe mailing it in would put it in the hands of the person who could really help me. I'm glad i started chasing this down now, because it may take me until next year's graduation to actually get it solved. Lol
