@cyrenanderson2238 happy to help. Note on the financial aid you can always check with your university’s student aid folks to get more information. But sometimes it’s just best to get out of the wrong class especially one that isn’t helping your degree. Let me know if there’s any questions I can help with in the future.
Good morning thanks for this video. I appreciate it. What if you’re withdrawing from a school because you feel the program just isn’t for you and you wanna enroll in another college all together that is closer to my home and tuition is cheaper. I did apply for financial aid for this year. This is my six week of school I’m waiting to hear back from my financial aid officer, but I’m sure at this point I withdrawal deadline has probably passed. I wanted to finish out my semester and just transfer my credits over to the other school but I’m hearing rumors that our credits will not transferred to another university for some reason if we were to pass the classes? Please let me know if you have any info with the scenario. Enjoy your day, stay blessed!🙏🏽☺️
@lisablack5244 good morning to you as well. Happy to help. First, the withdrawal deadlines can last much longer than you'd think. Do a quick online search for your college's name and their withdraw deadlines. Another option is to look for your college's academic calendar. One/both of these will tell you your withdraw deadlines. Note that transferring mid semester won't typically mean you'd be taking classes at the new college until the following semester, so there may be some value in simply finishing the current semester and then transferring. Note you can start that transfer process now rather than waiting, too. Second, since you are withdrawing from all classes, you also can withdraw from the college altogether if you feel you need to take some time off before the new semester at the new college starts. Withdrawing from all classes can be subject to different levels of tuition reimbursement. This is something that again can be found on your academic calendar. Look for deadlines that note the percentage of tuition reimbursed for withdrawing from the college. Note that the admissions/advisors at your new college can often help you here as well. I can talk more about that as needed. Third, you bring up a very important issue of accreditation and if you can transfer classes. There are colleges out there which are non-accredited, meaning their degrees have not been legitimized by a formal academic accreditation board. This can be a whole university lacking accreditation or just a major. It can create some unexpected issues for students. There's an easy way to learn more about this. As you are transferring to a new college, ask the admissions department if they have a transfer agreement with your current college. If they do, they can tell you exactly how the credits will transfer per that agreement. If they do not, arrange to have a copy of your transcripts sent to the new college (or simply print an unofficial transcript copy or even a list of your completed classes) and ask them how these might transfer. And if there's a big accreditation issue, they're going to know about it and can give you more info. Most of the time it isn't an issue, but if you're going to a completely unaccredited school or in an unaccredited major, it might require extra steps to try and reclaim your credits. But I'll save that for a follow up comment if you need help and it does turn out that is an issue. Good chance it's just rumors, so let's ask admissions at your new college for help here. Throughout this transfer, know that moving to the right program for you is a great idea. Find the place that works for your needs. I'm always happy to answer questions in the meantime. Please share the channel with your friends and keep in touch with the big move!
