Why Is My Module 90% or 99% Complete?
If your course shows 99% complete or a module shows 90% complete after submission, this means that your module is in instructor review. Once your instructor reviews it within 24-48 hours, it will automatically close out. You may continue working on your course while it is being reviewed.

Can I receive a 1098T form?
