Kathy H Specializes in Psychiatry. Has 20+ years experience. Feb 13, 2015 Hi niteshift_...I am also starting May 1 RN-MSN leadership! The transcript evaluation didn't take long but I am appealing 1 of my courses with them which doesn't take long either. (I already appealed 2 others which they reviewed and accepted within a few days). I've been torn about whether to go for the BSN first but my enrollment counselor told me it's fine if I switch at this point but I need to declare it by the intake interview. I am leaning toward the MSN.....Good Luck!!Kathy 0 Likes

I hope I am making the right decision going right for my msn after getting licensed less than a month ago.Hey niteshiftWell my 3rd appealed course was approved yesterday (same day I submitted), so don't hesitate to appeal if you have documentation on courses that are equivalent - they only give you 15 days from the date on your evaluation to appeal any courses on your transcript. For me the A&P I and II with labs were called Life Science I&II at my school many years ago. They were termed LS because they were strictly for nursing students and were actually more intense than traditional A&P. I called my nursing college and got the course description, I also still had the textbook (A&P) so I emailed them the course description and table of contents of my textbook. The 3rd course they didn't initially accept was Developmental Psych- they assumed it was an infancy to adolescent course, not through the lifespan as it was. Again I got the course description and emailed them- It was approved same day. Now if I only had Stats, Micro, and Biochem!! Going in with 79 credits and have my intake interview this coming Wed. My enrollment counselor assured me that May 1 starts will not be filled before then. Right now both RN-BSN and RN-MSN are filled for April I'm sure all will go well for you and look forward to hearing about your experience and progress.Kathy 0 Likes

niteshift_mister87 Feb 26, 2015 I turned in the appeal form, I hope I did it correctly because now that I think of it I have not heard anything back from them yet. Would they email me through the email address that I have been communicating through? 0 Likes

Feb 26, 2015 I turned in the appeal form, I hope I did it correctly because now that I think of it I have not heard anything back from them yet. Would they email me through the email address that I have been communicating through?Definitely email them at transcriptinfo@wgu.edu and cc your enrollment counselor. My first appeal I submitted my documents through the form they sent but only a couple uploaded and I was denied. Then I emailed all of my documents as attachments and it was approved. I appealed 3 courses which were approved. I think the first one took a couple days for them to email me with the denial (via my personal not WGU email). I also called them when it got denied because I had a feeling that everything didn't upload - and I was right. Good luck! Kathy 0 Likes
