Transcripts need to be sent to Penn Foster in the unopened, notary sealed envelope(s). It takes a few weeks for transfer credits to show up on your My Courses page. If you have general education credits it is well worth the $ and effort to send your transcripts. They apply credit to your account for any classes that transfer for each semester.
I sent my transcript and had transfer credits for all general Ed classes except computer applications since it was so long ago for my computer class! lol
