CSDCAS Academic Update

[futureSLPhopefullylol]

Can anyone clarify for me how to go about doing the "academic update" for CSDCAS?

i was wondering this as well because one of my applications are due jan 15 and I'm worried that if i do the academic update my application may not be re-verified by the deadline

I did the academic update and it took less then a week for my applications to be re-verified

Question -- do we NEED to do the academic update? 

I took a course this fall, which theoretically I can update on CSDCAS. I also have a couple new courses I'm planning to take. Do I have to do the update? Or, can I just leave it as is?

I'm not sure if you HAVE to update, but if courses you took in the fall are required prereqs I would use the update tool. Schools are going to want to see that information. For example, I used the update last year because I took my chemistry course and my audiology course in the fall and knew they would want to see those grades.

I started my update in the end of December and it just went through this morning! I would HIGHLY suggest doing it, especially if you don't have amazing grades, and your last semesters are a huge improvement!

Did you guys submit your applications without the fall grades and then went back in during "academic update" to include the grades for fall?

I have not submitted my applications, one due Jan 15th 2018. I need the fall grades because I have 3 req CSD classes I took this semester and one of them is a retake, so I want the new higher GPA for the fall before applying. What should I do?? thank you so much!
