Student Spotlight: Healthcare Leadership Student Answers 5 of Our Questions

By | | Comments 0 Comment

Jenna Braden is a UofL Online student pursuing a BS in Organizational Leadership & Learning, with a track focus in Healthcare Leadership. She is also currently employed at Humana as a Manager for HPS Clinical Formulary Administration. Today, we’ll be reviewing her answers to some of our student spotlight questions to better understand her program and how it will prepare her for future career success! As Jenna notes, “This program was designed to transform the learning and college experience, making a degree possible for anyone, at any stage of life.”  

Let’s dive into her responses to our questions!  

  1. Why did you select the HCL program? I am currently in a Healthcare Leadership role and was looking for a degree program that would directly tie back to my career aspirations. While my college background was in Biology/Chemistry, I didn’t feel that continuing down that degree path would be as meaningful to my future success. The HCL program focus was exactly what I was looking for in a degree, so I knew right away it was the right program for me.

  2. What are you enjoying most about the program? The professors. The support and encouragement from the staff are outstanding. While I also love learning from the courses, I am most driven by how obvious it is that my professors also care about my success. They are great at giving direct, meaningful feedback and are thoughtful and encouraging in their responses. While I am motivated to succeed for my own career and personal growth, the support and motivation from the HCL staff makes it even easier to push myself to get there.

  3. Do you feel the program is providing the skills you need to be successful in your career? Definitely. The content covered in the program is specifically designed to help you develop skills rather than just learn information. The coursework helps you understand how to apply those skills in real ways, and the professors are great at guiding you through the content and application.  

  4. Would you recommend the program? Why? I would absolutely recommend the program, and I actually have recommended it to many of my colleagues and friends. The flexibility and applicability in the design of the program make it a great option for anyone looking for a career in healthcare leadership. It is tailored to individuals already in the workforce which is a unique quality of this program. It gives you the freedom to balance your life, job, and schoolwork in a way that works best for your lifestyle. In addition to the schedule flexibility, it is made up of course content that can and will be applied in a healthcare leadership role, another quality of the program that is not always as apparent in other programs.  

  5. Any additional comments you would like to share! For anyone out there in the workforce with no degree but wanting more from their career and for themselves, take the leap. I put it off for years, overwhelmed by the thought of being in school while raising a family and working full-time. I wish I had done it sooner. There is no better time than now! Don’t be scared or intimidated. This program was designed to transform the learning and college experience, making a degree possible for anyone, at any stage of life.

So, you’ve decided to take the next step in your education. And after browsing the various program options available to you, you’ve found the one for you and submitted your application. (We know, we know… It’s never quite that simple.) Then, while attempting to capitalize on your forward momentum, you found yourself at a roadblock. Often times, the next step most online institutions will ask you to do is submit an official college transcript from all previously attended institutions.

And you may just find yourself asking… how do you go about that?

Infographic: Submitting an Online Request

Submitting an online request for college transcripts can often feel like a daunting or intimidating task, especially for anyone who has been out of school for years. All these questions may start popping up in your head…

Where do you go to submit your official transcript request? Where do you send transcripts after requesting them? How should you send transcripts to colleges you’re interested in?

The last thing we want is for you to loose momentum on a task that feels scary but can really be simple. Which is why we’re here to help. We created a “How To” infographic that empowers you to take on the task of requesting your transcripts without hesitation by taking you step-by-step through how to request transcripts from colleges.

Download the Transcript Retrieval Guide by filling out the form below.

Note: Our guide targets the future UofL student, but should be loosely applicable to all transcript requests… regardless of where you’ve chosen to continue your education.

Online Transcript Request: Step-by-Step

While transcripts can be requested online, in-person or by mail, the recommended method is to order transcripts online through the institution website.

Steps to request official college transcript(s) online:

  1. Search the web for “[Your School’s Name Here] transcript”
  2. Visit the Registrar’s or Transcript Order page found at the top of your search results*
  3. Submit the web request for your official transcripts
  4. Send college transcripts directly to the university you want to attend
  5. Repeat for all institutions you’ve attended in the past

* Don’t see a viable link in your results? Try adding “request” or “order” to your search terms!

This process should also be effective for high school transcript requests.
