Mid-year transcript request for an REA admitted student

Curious. Did any other REA admit receive an email requesting a mid-year transcript? My son received such an email today, and I thought it was a little odd. I know he will need to send a final transcript to whichever school he decides to attend, but ND already said yes so why would they want to see his semester grades? I don’t recall ND asking the same of my ND 2022 student who was also admitted REA.

It is just a requirement for his file. My daughter’s school sent hers automatically, and it is now checked off in her portal.

It is a requirement even for REA admits. My son’s GC sent his automatically, and it is now checked off in his portal as well.
