Looks like Sandy will be holding things up. I wrote the school and asked last week and they said if you passed your finals, there was no way to fail the FCCA. Like a previous poster, I have most of my CPNE stuff together and am just waiting on official clearance.

It's not listed on my progress report but it is letting me access the application, so I guess I am too :-)

You know that you can access it under your "my details" page, right? I also recommend getting it printed and bound. Congrats! :D

Yea, I know, 500+ pages is a lot. I may see if my boss will let me print them at work.

The message just confirms I passed them both :)

Now hopefully I can test before I have to pay another years tuition (March 13th).

I did mine at Kinko's. Costs a little extra but saving the time of printing and binding it myself (not to mention the wear and tear on the printer) was worth it. I am going to reprint the critical elements to put into a special "study binder" though.

I'm trying to beat the yearly tuition date and Feb 4th will be mine. I don't know if I will make it or not. I'd rather pay the tuition than have to retake the CPNE. I think I can swing it though.

Good luck :-)

About $60 (which is actually about the same or less than the ink would have cost to print it myself, I think). I've also heard some people got theirs bound for $40 so you may want to call around for estimates.

I just e-mailed the school and if I understand their response correctly, you have to be declared eligible to graduate for 30 days by the time your yearly tuition becomes due in order to avoid it. There is no way for me as I will not be ready (nor could I get a date) in time to be declared eligible for graduation by January 6th. Sucks, but I'm still so happy to be this close to be fazed too much at this point :D. I better start saving though :)

Wow they don't send it to you for free anymore when you are eligible ? I didn't have time print mine , they mailed it to me.
