goo38, thank you for response. Three more questions:

1) Any idea as to how long the transfer from Coinbase to Bittrex might take?

It depends. Probably can take a few hours before you see your funds into your Bittrex account. You can follow it in blockchain.info to see if your transaction has been confirmed. Just need patience mate.

2) I would like to buy other coins with this bitcoin immediately. Bittrex says that it might take up to two weeks. Has anybody experienced this?

Well, if they say two weeks, then you have to wait for two weeks then. Go try to take to their support if anything can be done to expedite your request.

3) I got an email today saying this:
"
The User Activated Hard Fork (UAHF) is a proposal to increase the Bitcoin block size scheduled to activate on August 1. The UAHF is incompatible with the current Bitcoin ruleset and will create a separate blockchain. Should UAHF activate on August 1, Coinbase will not support the new blockchain or its associated coin.
The User Activated Soft Fork (UASF) is a proposal to adopt Segregated Witness on the Bitcoin blockchain and could result in network instability. It is scheduled to activate at the same time as the UAHF.
"

There is a looming hard fork that is scheduled on Aug 1. They are advising you that they are not supporting if there is a coin split.

a) Can anybody tell me how it'll affect my transfer of bitcoin from Coinbase to Bittrex?
b) How it might affect my purchase of other coins using the bitcoin on Bittrex?

I really appreciate anyone who responds.

If you done your transfer prior to Aug 1 then you will not have a problem. The issue is that you don't have control of your bitcoin in Bittrex because you don't have your private keys. I suggest you read this.
