Undergraduate degree, conferred after law classes start?

I am currently finishing up the last 7 credits of my double major in undergrad and my degree will be conferred by September 3rd. Law school orientation is August 18/19 and classes start on the 20th. So my question is: how do I handle this with LSAC and the law school? Should I email the school and inform them that I won't have my conferred transcript by then? My summer classes end on August 12th with my final exam on August 14th, my undergrad has a policy that final grades must be posted 72 hours after the final exam. Realistically I should have my final GPA and unofficial transcript by the time orientation starts. Would an unofficial transcript suffice until I receive my conferred?

Perhaps this should give you pause that your plan of attending a shitty law school before you can legally drink might not be the best idea.

Just turned 21 last week actually. Also, I have a nice scholarship at the law school I will be attending.
Thanks for being oh so helpful.

Tell me about your career goals and how you plan to achieve them from the school you plan to attend.

I have connections to a guaranteed job after school.
This has nothing to do with my question.

Well then, #YOLO. I actually have somewhat relevant experience here because I graduated in late July and classes started in August for me. My school didn't require a complete UG transcript until 10 school days into the semester. Look into when your school requires it.

Penn state is probably so desperate for ops money they won't care
Hope that guaranteed job works out

Well they are getting almost no money from me sooooo....
Plus I had a full ride for undergrad so going in with a good position financially.
My family has worked high up in the company for three generations... So fingers crossed?

My dad, who has worked there 40 years, is a hiring boss.
But again this has nothing to do with my initial question or the topic at hand.

I think you'd be better off just asking the school. Did you not disclose this when you applied or something?

I put in my application that I would finish my degree in August 2014. I should have my unofficial transcript by orientation.
