I am scheduled to graduate this Spring 2015 and my graduation application was approved. The tricky thing is that I am taking two courses at ACC this semester and need to transfer those courses in order to have my degree plan completed. My advisor and I sent a petition last semester to allow us to do this, stating which ACC courses I was going to take and it got approved. Then, when filling out my 2015 Spring graduation application, I selected the option stating that I am simultaneously taking coursework at another institution and told them again which courses I was taking and that I am going to transfer it immediately when grades are posted. I just got a response stating my Spring 2015 graduation has been approved and that I am scheduled to graduate on Spring 2015, however, the following message was attached:
“Decision Notes:
Approved as a May 2015 graduation candidate contingent upon receipt of transfer coursework. We suggest having this on your record by May 15, 2015, or graduation may be delayed.”
The last official class day for ACC Spring 2015 is May 17th. My last actual class day there is May 14th though who knows when grades will be in.
I contacted my advisor asking about this and she told me “contact ACC to see when grades are in and then wait until then to send my transcript immediately and see if that works.” I can’t just guess and check and hope my graduation doesn’t get delayed…
It is my advisor’s second time advising and she is clueless and will not give me any more help. Other than my advisor, who can I go to and talk to about this? Thank you.
