How soon after submitting do secondaries come in?

I'm finally ready to hit the fabled 'submit,' however, I'm going to be gone on a study abroad trip with intermittent internet for about a month starting the 21st (I will have more internet beginning July 12). My question is when do secondary applications become available to to be filled out? For all schools, will it no matter what be at least a few weeks later after AADSAS has done transcript matching and grade calculations? Or do some schools send them out right after you hit 'submit?' I know that some have a short time limit for completion so I want to make sure I'll have internet to do so.

Also, how do I tell schools what classes I plan to take? Is this part of secondaries?

You need to go into the coursework section of the application to add your planned courses. Change the year and semester and planned courses. Secondaries are sometimes sent out, others are available on the school website

Secondaries vary by school, check here: http://www.adea.org/dental_educatio.../Pages/ADEAAADSASSupplementalInformation.aspx
Some are available now and are to be submitted immediately, some will be sent out after they process your application, some will be sent out after you application is under review and some don't have any at all and just require a fee.

Should I only add planned courses that are required for some of the schools, or add all that I am planning to take?

Whatever you plan to take/have registered for in the fall, you can update it during academic update beginning in mid-November.

Yeah, put what you intend to take and/or have already registered for in your "planned courses." It's okay if you end up switching classes. They're only planned, after all. 🙂

I would be nervous about submitting and then not being able to fill out supplements once they made it my way. Some schools send them to you instantly, others only send them to you if you get an interview, and some send them out once they actually start reviewing applications. I know one of the schools I applied to had a 10-day limit for secondary submission.
