okadam Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Hello, I graduated from the University of Michigan last year. I decided to take one more general nutrition course (it will start on 5/7/12 and go on until 7/18/12) at a community college because some schools do not count the one I already have. Basically, at the University of Michigan there were only two nutrition courses offered. One was a sports nutrition course (which I took), and the other was the general nutrition course. Unfortunately, the professor of the general nutrition course passed away so I (nor anyone else) didn't even get a chance to register for the class. I plan on creating my account tomorrow, and I understand that for CASPA, you have to list ALL the institutions you have attended. Technically, this course is a pending class so would I still need to list it under the attended institutions? My problem is that I wanted to "complete" my application before or by June, and I don't want to have to wait until my ONE nutrition course ends until I apply (It will end 7/18/12, and ordering transcripts/processing CASPA will take too long!). I know a lot of people have applied with pending courses...so would I need to list the community college under the institutions attended/would my application be considered incomplete without a transcript from the community college?

cinntsp Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Courses can be listed as being in progress. You just have to send a transcript directly to the schools you're applying to once the grade posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cinntsp Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Thank you! Would I still need to list the community college under "Attended Institutions?" Yes, because you can not add a class to your courses list without adding the institution first. Whether CASPA will require a transcript for a school that you haven't completed any classes at yet, I don't know. You should be able to get a transcript that shows your course in progress if they do.

okadam Posted April 21, 2012 Author Share Posted April 21, 2012 Oh, I see. Thanks for letting me know. I guess since they seemed so strict about receiving ALL transcripts, I was worried that they wouldn't send my application to any schools until that one class ended/transcript is received. If they still accept a transcript that shows my course is in progress, that would be the best solution. Do you know of anyone who has applied/is applying with pending classes?
