I am waiting for lipids to come back and am working on DNA,RNA. I really want to bang this out next week when I have whole days to work on it. We shall see. Now if my LUT would get loaded so that I can submit that first task. Ahh the waiting, I really am an impatient person. LOL

Biochem is now loaded into taskstream, running my originality report is running on the lipids task. Now just waiting for LUT to be added (which was requested first). Yours should be coming soon also Commuter

Ahh taskstream: I have a username and password, got it yesterday, but none of my tasks are loaded. I was told it can take up to 48hrs for the tasks to show up. I keep looking for them. Yes, I am a bit inpatient, LOL. Working on task2 for biochem while I am waiting, and gonna study for older adult, since I don't have much to review, in my rare spare time at work over the next 4 days.

No need to feel bad!! I am usually a good test taker but have a hard time with writing. I write and rewrite multiple times until it gets to where I want it. 1% is really close and I am sure that you will be fine after reviewing the areas you fell short on. We can do this!!

I thinks she should let you. You scored well on the practice exam and have studied. I am looking to take mine as soon as my webcam comes. With my schedule I think that may be easier than trying to give them 3 days that work for me. This way I can take it some night after my husband goes to bed and my daughter is at work. Meanwhile I am going to brush up on the areas I was weaker in. My mentor wants me to be 10 over cut score and I was only 3 points from that goal. I am also anxiously waiting for taskstream access so I can submit task 1 for LUT and the lipids task for biochem. With my schedule I will go several days without being able to work on school so I need to make the most of my days off. good luck with your call!!

i have my call with the mentor at 9:00 to officially enroll. then will stalk my email for taskstream sign-in so i can submit what i have done.

Hi everyone, We have one more day before we are officially enrolled. Are you ready? What class are you starting with? Have you done anything ahead of time? How many CU's do you have to complete. I will start first. Am I ready- HELL yeah, LOL. I have 38CU's to complete. I have task 1 for LUT1 ready to submit as soon as I have access to taskstream. I have also done the pre-assessment for Older Adult and scored a 77, so while waiting for LUT task 1 to come back I am going to study my weak points so that I can schedule the OA. I have also completed the chemistry review for Biochem so am ready to start on task 1 whenever. Can you tell I like to have several things in the fire at once. I will have several days a week when I will have very little time for studies due to my work schedule followed by several days off when after I sleep that first morning I will have several hours. I want to always have something brewing or ready to submit. My goal is to complete the program in 12-15 months. I have to be reasonable and I know that my 1st day off work is always the worst due to switching my sleep schedule and not sleeping well. Good Luck everyone and looking forward to supporting and celebrating with everyone!

Oh ok thanks. my mentor said I could get in and look around but couldn't submit anything until I officially enrolled on the 1st. I do take notice that I have access to the pre-assessment, wonder if I could take it. I am doing a lot of work for LUT awhile. I plan on having everything ready to submit task 1 on May 1st.

Commuter, how did you take the preassessment? I didn't think we had access to that stuff until May 1st. I know I can get in and look at COS's but didn't know we could do preassessment. thanks

I have a testing center within 10-15 minutes from me. I will probably utilize that. I have 4 dogs and 2 cats and my home is not so big. It would be hard for me to have time when there would be no adult children/husband/dog or cat walking through the room. We did put a desk in the hallway upstairs between my kids rooms so if I need to go there I could. I could also test very late (between 1 and 3 am when I am usually awake but my husband and son are sleeping or my son is playing games and my daughter is at work). I will have to see what I think will work best at the time. Just had my first call with my mentor and she sounds WONDERFUL. Talking to her next fri so I am ready to enroll on the 1st and start right away.

Glad everything worked out!!! Isn't it exciting. Come on May 1st.

I finished mine early early am on the 17th. I am counting with you. 1st call with student mentor this evening. Started looking through the COS's. I think I am going to ask her to change up some classes, move some classes between semester 1 and 2.

My enrollment counselor was great! All in all, I thought the whole process went well. I am helping at a conference tomorrow all day so will have to wait til tomorrow evening before I get a chance to look at Education without Boundaries. Here's to hoping we all get great mentors!!

Count me in for a May 1st start date! I am getting excited and a little nervous. Ready to start the Education without boundaries and get it done and be ready to dig in.

I too would be irritated. I agree use this as motivation to get this done!! Glad you are still on for a May 1 start date. I am looking forward to getting started but also a little nervous. I just keep telling myself it others can do this so can I. I know that when I set my mind to something I become like one of my bulldogs and don't let go. LOL.

The dollar amt on my MPN was 0 also. After my intake interview I recieved my award letter that showed my fin aid offering. It sounds like the background check is all you are waiting for so hopefully you should be fine.

Commuter, I hope your background check comes back soon. Is everything else done so you are ready. Hoping you are joining us with a May 1 start date.

i know mine was back extremely quick, like a day.

Yes this is for my BSN.

Received my transcript eval last evening. Surprised me since it was a Sunday. I need to complete 38 CU's. that is about what I was thinking. I am happy with that. Now I just have the long month wait. LOL

I am with you. My enrollment counselor and I rescheduled until Tuesday. My college changed names and they keep looking for an additional transcript that they already have in the colleges new name. my counselor was gonna call and try to get it straightened out (he already emailed them) and get them to do the evaluation by tuesday hopefully. I also followed up with an email to the transcript department. Here's hoping we are ready to go forward on Tuesday.

For all of you starting in May, how long did it take to get your transcript eval and find out how many CU's you needed to take? Did you get an email with the information or did you get the information from your enrollment counselor? I am ready to start, have my intake interview today, just curious about how long it will take to find out how many credits I need. Thanks everyone.

Just heard from my enrollment counselor, you are right, I do need to get another one. We already have an appt to talk tomorrow and we are turning that into the intake interview. Now just waiting to hear the results of my transcript eval.

Yay, I finally got my provisional acceptance email. I had a background check done last June or Julywhen I transferred to my current job, I am going to ask my enrollment counselor if this will suffice or if I have to get another. I have already completed the financial aid information so have to schedule my intake interview. I am so ready to get this going.

Finally all my transcripts have arrived at WGU. Now I hope that WGU remembers that I told them that the school I attended for my associates changed names. They were originally still looking for transcripts from that school, not realizing they had them. My enrollment counselor said he would let them know about the name change. Now that they have arrived, he can get my final decision. I would really like to start May 1st. All my financial aid stuff is completed and checked off in the financial aid tab of the My WGU page. Here's to all of us starting in May!!
