As a quick off topic FYI, be aware that WGU will not allow you to begin your MBA program until they have the final transcript in hand showing your completed bachelor's degree. They normally need the degree confirmation by the 15th of the month prior to your start term date. They do have a few days of wiggle room on that though. It just means you cannot begin orientation until after the degree has been verified.
I was in the same boat... I finished my courses at TESU in December and had to wait until March commencement for my degree to be awarded. It didn't get awarded until the 21st of March, so but I pre-ordered my transcript and clicked the box asking it to be sent as soon as the degree was awarded. WGU got it on the same day. I made the cutoff by less than 24 hours and was able to begin on April 1st, though I ended up having one less week to complete my orientation because of the delay.
So, I'd recommend you plan for May and hope for April as your start date. There is no way they will allow you to begin in Feb or March unless you already have a prior bachelor's degree from somewhere else.
Hmm.. I called WGU and they said that a letter from TESU (direct to WGU)that I had fnsished all degree requirements would suffice even though they usually use a standard verification service that would mean waiting until after degree is conferred.
Oh well.. I'll try and if not, enjoy a break
