How often should I submit an ACE transcript to TESU? Here's what I did.

This question is asked a lot. I just sent them my last transcript today, and looked back at my history. It looks like I sent the first one back in 2014 when I enrolled (plus my CLEP & DSST scores), and then another one in 2015 (1½ years later), then 2016 (6 months later), then again now (1½ years later). On average, I've sent one annually, after taking at least 2 courses. I have also taken a college course, and sent my transcript immediately after the semester grades were in.

Also, just to be sure, before I send them, I make a copy of my eval. Because TESU has changed it around both times that I've sent it - instead of just adding a course, they've moved stuff around, and I've had to contact them to correct the info and put it back to the way it was. I would strongly suggest you do that as well, because waiting until you graduate is not the best time to find out that they've made a change.

I'm doing my last 2 courses from SL, so I get to send that transcript for free, hopefully they won't screw these up (all 4 of these courses are core classes, so hard to screw up Accounting II or Microeconomics). But I'll be making a copy of my eval now, just in case.
