If a student participates in Fast Track, typically these students will register for a class, complete all components of the course (homework assignments, assessments, and practicum forms) prior to the lecture. Once the lecture is complete, the students will receive transcripts within 5-7 business days. If Unofficial Transcripts are needed for the employer, Student Services can provide these for the student if asked to do so. There is a $75 fee to participate in Fast Track. If students do not participate in Fast Track, students can typically finish a course in 30 days or less. Otherwise students have up to 90 days to complete all components of the course.

These are two different processes and fees. Fast Track allows students to complete their homework, assessments, and practicum prior to the first date of lecture so that they may earn their ECE units quickly. Students must have all work completed and uploaded in the student portal by Saturday at 9:00am. Everything will be graded by Sunday end of lecture. If the work is not completed by Saturday at 9:00am then the student falls back into traditional grading policies in which Professors and their assistants have up to 10 business days to complete any and all grading. Grading takes place in order of receipt. Fast Track grading has a fee of $75.00. Expedited Transcripts can be paid for and sent out at any time. Students can receive Official Transcripts in the mail in 3-5 business days once payment is received. The fee for this is $25.00. If the student would like their transcripts expedited once Fast Track is paid for and all course work is completed, they may pay for this process when they are paying for the Fast Track fee to ensure transcripts are received quickly as well. If the expedited transcript fee is paid at the same time as Fast Track, official transcripts will go out on the Monday following the two-day weekend lecture.
