Some of this sounds fishy to me. Either you have passed all the requirements or you haven't. Get the transcripts to the right people on time. This is just strange to me.
Not at all. This type of delay is common for students-remember, most students don't have to get on the practice field. Its difficult to match up classes at a community college with a school like UA if Carter took classes Bama doesn't offer. Also, given that it is early August, half of the administration at the CC is probably on vacation. I am at a 4 year school and I won't be going anywhere near my office for another week.
Then someone should have anticipated these problems and made advanced plans to circumvent them. This is not the first time we have had players transferring in.
Ah, but again, you have to remember this isn't a UA problem, its on the other side. And if Carter took summer school over there, its likely his transcript wasn't sent until the end of the session. You have two bureaucracies trying to talk together, thus doubling the chances for screwups.
BamaPhD, agree that the onus is on the community college but this school is notorious (much like MGCCC) for prepping players for Div 1 (whatever) football. They know the drill. But someone at U of A should have been communicating, long before we got in this predicament. If I need some info from DMV I usually call twice to see if the second DMV clerk answers the same the first. When dealing with bureaucracies, always ask a million questions and double check the important stuff. Also a good tip for assuring someone send something when they say they will is to offer to arrange a fedex pickup.
