Did she check the portal?
Yes, all decisions are sent out at once. Make sure you have the correct student portal information. Emails usually follow later after the portal is updated.
I’m not sure, she’s in a class but told me she hasn’t gotten an email yet. Does the portal update before the email is sent?
Portal first then an email later.
