I recently graduated and have received my diploma or graduate certificate, but I have not yet received my transcript. Will I be receiving it soon?

All transcripts must be requested by the student. No transcripts are provided automatically. Information regarding how to request an official transcript can be found on our website.

What are my chances of getting the courses I need if I attend a later session?

The first people to register have the opportunity to register for courses offered during preferred/peak class times (i.e. 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.). Some popular introduction courses at these times tend to fill up faster. You might have to take it earlier or later in the day than you would prefer, but you will still be registered for these classes. Some general education subjects (i.e. psychology, sociology) are also more popular than others so you may have to choose an alternate subject. Required courses like Freshman Seminar, English, and Math add sections as they are needed throughout the summer. You will be able to register for all the credit hours you need. It may not be at your first choice time or subject. Students attending August or January (spring semester admits) should use the AdviseU app to set up an appoint with their advisor before their 1-day Orientation. Students will still have to attend the 1-day Orientation and Freshmen Welcome programs even though they have been advised for classes. Failure to attend could result in your schedule being cancelled and you will have to wait until the first day of classes to register again.

Will I be able to receive my orientation date of choice?

In June because we limit the number of student participants in each session they are filled on a first-come basis. Therefore, if you register early you are more likely to receive your 1st choice orientation session. Once a session is full the system will close the session. If someone changes their reservation, a session may open back up. August and January sessions have one orientation date and no limits on the number of student registrations.
