After 6 weeks, TESC has finally updated my evaluation to show that all requirements have been met.
They also sent me confirmation that my request for graduation was received a few weeks ago.
My question is: how long does it take them to send the "certified for graduation letter"?
From the email:
2. If all requirements for graduation have been met, your name will be submitted to the Board of Trustees at its next scheduled meeting for approval of your degree.
3. Once your file has been certified for graduation, two copies of an official "certified for graduation letter" are automatically sent to you. The "certified for graduation letter" states that all the degree requirements have been completed and that the student's degree is scheduled to be conferred on the date of the next Thomas Edison State College Board of Trustees meeting. These letters are sent well in advance of the actual date of the graduation. You are able to use the letter, along with a copy of your transcript, for proof of the anticipated degree until the degree is actually conferred by the Board of Trustees and is officially noted on the transcript.
The challenge, as I see it, is that the trustees met in March & do not meet again until June, the month of graduation. I understand the board submission is a formality; my concern is timely delivery of this letter so that I can formally apply to graduate school.
Can anyone here offer any insight as to when the graduation letter are typically issued?
