<p>When I check my application status, my transcript does not appear as received. However, it was sent electronically three weeks ago… My emails to undergraduate admissions have gone unanswered (presumably because of the holidays). Is there anyone I can contact directly regarding this issue?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Your school electronically sends transcripts? </p>
<p>Are you CERTAIN that your school sent them? </p>
<p>The holidays are going to slow things down a lot. I don’t know if anyone will be in the admissions office next week. Will there be anyone at your high school to ask to make sure your transcript was sent? You may need to ask to have a paper one sent. </p>
<p>I wouldn’t even know how to have an electronic transcript sent to Bama. Did Bama give you a number to send it to or what?</p>
<p>Yes, my school uses Docufide. UA was in the drop down menu, so I assumed they accepted transcripts electronically (they take electronic SAT/ACT scores too). I’ll get a paper copy sent ASAP.</p>
<p>In the mean time, is there anyone I can talk to about this? None of my emails from the past two weeks have been answered.</p>
<p>Have you tried contacting your local rep? </p>
<p>I wish you had mentioned this earlier. I don’t know if the school is closed until after the New Year. Is your school open next week?</p>
<p>If you don’t know who your local rep is, you can find out on the admissions webpage. <a href=“http://gobama.ua.edu/staff/[/url]”>http://gobama.ua.edu/staff/</a> Contact that person and tell them what your issue is. :)</p>
<p>Did you do the “drop down menu” or did the school? If it was the school, they may have mistakenly chosen the wrong University of Alabama to sent the transcript. There are 3 University of Alabama’s. They may have chosen the one in Birmingham or Huntsville, instead of the one in Tuscaloosa. It can be confusing.</p>
<p>OG-J,</p>
<p>We had a similar experience with my daughter’s ACT scores. They’d been sent electronically, but the UA admissions people (my daughter talked with them by phone) couldn’t find them. When she called them back with a date and code (a bin number, as I recall), the ACT people had given her, the admissions office was able to track the scores and found that they did indeed have them–they just hadn’t filed them yet (this was in mid-October, and they’d been deluged with the September ACT scores). Sure enough, the scores got filed within a few days, then showed up on her admissions status as received. Her acceptance came shortly thereafter. :)</p>
<p>My advice when contacting a school (and I’ve been through this numerous times with three kids) is to call the admissions office (vs. email) and ask to speak to an admissions advisor or regional representative or someone a bit higher up the food chain–in many cases, it helps if you can get past the person at the front desk.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>^^^</p>
<p>Agreed. I just don’t know if anyone will be in the offices for the next 2 weeks. </p>
<p>I think (not sure) that your personal admissions counselor can find out.</p>
<p>Oh…wait…I think the offices are open on Saturday **morning **. So, perhaps today wasn’t the last day before holiday shut down. </p>
<p>Call tomorrow morning (after 8 am central time). </p>

<p>Thanks for the advice, you two. I’ll call tomorrow.</p>
<p>Did you call the U?</p>
<p>Yes, it’s all sorted out now. The office is open until Wednesday for anyone wondering.</p>
<p>Thanks…</p>
