FALL 2009 TRANSCRIPTS AND COURSES

ACADEMIC UPDATE (AU)

If you e-submit your PTCAS application before your fall 2009 grades are available, you must enter your updated courses online during the Academic Update (AU), even if you have received one or more offers of admission.  Arrange for your updated fall transcript to be sent to PTCAS as soon as it is available.  PTCAS will contact you by email when you can begin to enter your updated fall grades and any new planned/in-progress 2010 courses on the PTCAS application.  E-submit your updated courses as soon as you have an unofficial grade report from the college or university and do NOT wait for the registrar to release your official transcript. You can only update your coursework ONCE during the Academic Update.

Important AU Dates

• The Academic Update window will open on December 15, 2009. You cannot make edits to your coursework section until the AU window is open to you.    
• Submit your updated courses and transcripts to PTCAS immediately and by no later than January 15, 2010.  PTCAS will accept transcripts after January 15, but your designated PT programs may not consider late materials.
• The AU will close on February 1, 2010.  You cannot edit your courses after this date.

How to Complete the Academic Update

Follow the steps below.  Once these steps are complete, PTCAS will verify your updated course history against your revised transcript and transmit your revised GPAs to your designated PT programs.

• Arrange for your updated transcript to be sent to PTCAS as soon as it is available.
• Enter all of your updated courses online, once you receive the AU email from PTCAS.
• Delete any in-progress courses that are now complete and add them to the Coursework section, as appropriate.
• Click the e-Submit button at the bottom of the main PTCAS application page.
