Well that sets a tone, doesn't it? Seems like one shouldn't expect much from them if they can't even figure out their advisor situation and those advisors don't respond.
The university has seen a YUGE increase in enrollment over the last couple of years. Who knows how prepared they are for that increase.
Instructors are largely (perhaps entirely) volunteers. I would imagine much of the admin and counselors are volunteer. My attitude going in is that I don't expect very good response times. I also expect that when I do get answers they may not be the right ones (TESU, anyone? :p), and I will have to just keep asking UNTIL. I did get rapid response on my transcript submissions. No degree plan. No transfer equivalency info. I haven't asked for those things, yet.
JSD, did you send just RA xscripts, ACE only, or both? If you sent ACE, maybe that's confusing them and slowing it down. Not an excuse for lack of response, though.
TESU is slow, but 1) you can call them, 2) if you ask them nicely they'll speed up whatever you need them to do, and 3) TESU posts what transfer courses come in as when you're talking about Study.com or Straighterline or whatever. No such info from UoP.
I sent UoP my TESU transcript from TESU directly, as well as my ACE transcripts. My advisor confirmed they had received them on 9-17 so whatever. I have plenty of do without getting started on yet another degree program, I'm just sort of surprised at how ramshackle the process is.
