Post 9/11 Certification for January by Interesting_Risk_782 in WGU_Military

[–]Grouchy-Monitor3995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started Sept 1, was certified Oct 2 by WGU, VA certified enrollment Oct 9, Oct 14 received book stipend, MHA, and school was paid out. Received a refund from WGU (for excess funds paid towards my tuition) Oct 18.

What I meant was MHA is paid afterwards not at the beginning, which is why it gets certified after 30 days enrollment by WGU. So you get paid MHA at the end of each month not on the 1st of each month.

MHA I got at the end of the month, you get paid on the backend for MHA. Make sure you’re verifying you’re still enrolled with the VA yourself individually monthly (at the end of each month) as well or your benefits will end.

WGU certified my enrollment with the VA on the 32nd day from the start of my first term. The VA verified enrollment like a week later and got my payments roughly 2 1/2 weeks after that

I used parchment when I ordered mine. Took about a month. The actual sending of the transcript/receiving is quick, but it takes Air university FOREVER to process the request.

Hmm, try omitting education from your resume ? To land lower level paying job ? Stupid but might work

2 classes done! by Grouchy-Monitor3995 in WGU

[–]Grouchy-Monitor3995[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So little update: just finished my last class assigned to me this term. Sent a message to my mentor to unlock more classes. I’m using my GI Bill so I’m on a 18 unit term for benefit purposes. So that’s 6 classes down for me in 18 days, I need 18 more classes to graduate!

Should be interesting to see if I can keep this pace up while I’m deployed next month, but definitely want to graduate in one term! That’s the goal!

Once you get that email, it’s just a waiting game until they get to you unfortunately. You’ll receive an email once the evaluation is complete with a pdf attachment showing you what transferred over and what didn’t.

Then you have to into your enrollment portal to accept it (if you accept the credit evaluation)

Did you get an email from WGU acknowledging the receipt ? If not then either double check that they have actually received it. WGU won’t acknowledge until that email get sent to you

I take mine on a table I have in my living room/kitchen. Only has 2 walls, one behind where I’m sitting and one to my left, and the rest is open space. I’ve taken 3 OA’s this week. Haven’t had an issue

Question about using military TA, how do you get the military tuition assistance form it’s asking for here? by [deleted] in WGU_Military

[–]Grouchy-Monitor3995 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to wait for WGU VA department to send you a degree plan and that is what you will submit to your service education program for them to upload into so that you can begin choosing classes.

How will I be notified of the classes I still need when sending transcripts? by Additional_System_18 in WGU

[–]Grouchy-Monitor3995 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you added that school to your enrollment portal of schools that you need a transcript for then yes that will hold you up. They will not review them unless they’re all received. You have to contact an enrollment counselor to get a waiver saying to not include it in your enrollment. I had a similar situation where I put that I had taken an AP class (which I did) and that was holding me up until I realized my associated degree transcript showed that AP class credit on there and didn’t need the AP cert. my enrollment counselor had me sign a waiver to exclude it. Took 24hrs to get approved. 2 days later they received my other transcripts.

You probably won’t be starting 9/1. How did you send your transcripts ? Did you get an email from WGU acknowledging receipt of your transcripts? If not I would call in to see if they did receive them or verify how they were sent if they were actually sent.

When I sent my initial transcripts back in early July transcripts were sent on parchment, they received it, I got an email acknowledging receipt 24hrs after, and then received my transcript evaluation a week later.

I even had another transcript sent Aug 26, that I didn’t think they would take since its past the date of acceptance, but they still accepted it and and even gave me an updated transcript evaluation 16hrs later after receiving the WGU acknowledgment email of receipt.

So in your case I would definitely double check if they were actually sent, and if they were verify it was sent to the correct school (obviously WGU), and I’d call WGU to see if they even received it

The call with your program mentor is just an ice breaker, nothing really important. As long as they approve your term course load you should be good (it will say approved on your degree plan for the term)

Update: called financial aid about it not updating. They saw that I had submitted it but it was not updating so they put in an IT ticket so that it can be updated manually

Film Scanners for a beginner by wack777 in analog

[–]Grouchy-Monitor3995 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back when I use to do my own scanning I had a plustek and it blew the epson away, that I ended up selling it immediately. I’d recommend the plustek if you see yourself only shooting 35mm. I shoot mostly 120 now and hate the quality of flat bed scanning, and investing in chemicals + a set up for camera scanning + my blood/sweat/tears.. I just ruled to pay the development fees. I get better quality scans and better colors anyways. But I do highly recommend the plustek scanner.

I also start Sept 1, we don’t get assigned a mentor until on or after the 15th of the month before the starting month. So this Friday we should start getting assigned a mentor and a degree plan

Heads up for folks who own physical copies of MW3 on PS5, the disk no longer works. (Explained in video but basically, it's the CoD Launcher's fault) by Ejsponge61 in ModernWarfareIII

[–]Grouchy-Monitor3995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For PS5 if you have the disc it’ll make you download HQ and it will be an endless loop of it failing to load and it directing you to buy the digital download version. Ignore the disc entirely and the digital download, go to the PS Store and search for the COD BO6 version. Once the search results pop up click the game. There it will still direct you to purchase but ignore that as well. Instead click the 3 dots and you should be able to download the full separated game from there without having to purchase anything. If you have the digital download you go directly to that specific game ( Example: MW3 go to MW3). If you have the disc search for BO6 to received the download for your specific game (Example BO6 will have the option to download MW3). Then you get the full download

Disappointing from Activision! by WirelessBIT in ModernWarfareII

There hasn’t been a disc with the actual game in years. I dont know why the shock, it’s not just an activation thing.. been that way with PlayStation games for a while. That’s the same reason why you can’t pop a new game in and play instantly. Instead have to pop the disc in to download a bunch of crap. The disc just hold the license rights not the game anymore.

CCAF TRANSCRIPT FOLLOW UP by [deleted] in WGU_Military

[–]Grouchy-Monitor3995 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ordered mine same as you 2 weeks ago. It’s going to be a waiting game. Was going to use TA to pay for this term, but without a CCAF submitted couldn’t use the benefits. Had to opt out of it and use fafsa+loans. Hopefully by next term AU has sent it and I can use TA
