I recently received the e-mail regarding the academic update within OptomCAS. If I have already been accepted and paid my deposit do I need to do this? I graduated in December and have already requested my final transcripts be sent to the school I am attending after my degree is posted. I can't see any reason why I would need to do anything else with optomCAS but I thought I'd check!
 
Academic update lets you change "in progress/planned courses" to completed and you can also update grades for the fall semester so you may want to do that. No harm in doing it, I think, but you can ask the school and see if they want you to do it. (& congrats!)

EDIT (1/3/13): Oh, I see what you mean. Yeah, I just realized there's no real need to submit it and have OptomCAS send it to all the schools you applied to if you already know where you're going.

Ask your school. SCO told me I didn't need to go through optomcas, I just needed to send them my final transcripts directly.

Same here. I was accepted into SUNY and I asked them if I needed to go through optomcas.. they said there's no need. Just to make sure final transcripts after your last semester is mailed to them as proof for your BA/BS degree. Every school could be different though, call to make sure =)
