Sending College Transcripts

<p>I took a college course this fall, and my grade just came out a week ago. Will the colleges mind if the transcript takes a while? I can send in the request now, but it won't be sent until after Jan 1, most probably. </p>

<p>Should I call admissions offices to ask if I can just report the courses and grades to them, or will they all want the actual transcripts?</p>

<p>They'll want the actual transcripts, and it's no problem if they come a bit late.</p>
