Am I legally required to transfer my college credits to my new college?

You don't necessarily have to submit your former college transcripts, but you will have to rely solely on your high school grades to get you into the new school, and you'll have to repeat courses for which you've already earned credit.  \n\nBut you should know that most schools won't include your previous schooling in your GPA, it's like you're starting with a blank slate, and the new school's transcripts will only reflect credit earned in Courses X, Y and Z from the old school, not the grades earned.\n\nIt's up to you really, but given that you are 27, can you try applying as a mature student?  It would improve your chances of getting in.  Good Luck either way.

that depends on what college you're applying to. if they need it, then yes you need to take them. go to their website and check for their requirements.

Here is what you need to do:\n\n1. Since you know what you want to complete, you can plan in reverse.  Hopefully just using their web site, you can look at what is required for the veterinarian degree.  The vet school won't expect you to do that, but check it out anyway.  Now check out the admissions requirements for the school.  My guess is you know which vet school you would like to attend, so get that specific!  Make a shopping list of the specific courses, GPA, and other credentials that they require for entry.  You might need to visit one of their admissions counselors, but it's possible that all of that information is available on their web site.\n\n2. Now you need an advisor... or maybe not.  An advisor will know how to look up how your courses transfer.  Again, do this in reverse, from the college to which your credits will transfer, THEN go to your CC advisor.  Some advisors think they are in sales instead of advising, so it's important that you get your destination information first and your entry point information last.  People closer to your destination will tend to trump the people closer to your starting point in terms of knowing what they are talking about.\n\n3.  If you can manage to get ALL of your information on the internet (prerequsiites; figure out an undergraduate major), then it is possible in some cases to use some online help to figure out transfer credit.  CAVEAT: the online site is a work-in-progress!  Again, your final destination will have the final say!\n\nThis is the site I find most useful for my area:\nhttps://miami.transfer.org/cas/menu.jsp?guest=1\nClick on "course equivalency guides" on the left sidebar.\nRead each line carefully.  It automatically loads as you click each selection.\nUsing the CAS site, you can determine what courses transfer.\nIn the past, more classes transfer than were listed, but the site is becoming more and more comprehensive.\n\nOne last thing: from time to time, requirements change!  Keep yourself updated on your goal location!  This is why I am not giving you a specific list.\n\nGood luck!

What is of biggest concern for you, with regard to transferring, is the accredidation of the university you presently attend, and that of the university you wish to attend.\n\nIt used to be that a student would lose at least half of his or her credits when transferring from one school to another, however, most universities have programs today that enable such transfers to be much smoother.\n\nIn terms of your present schoolwork, the biggest piece of advice I can give any student is to talk with his or her professors, and advise them all of the present situation you are enduring.  Some may not care, but, overwhelmingly, the majority should and probably will give you advice for finishing the semester.\n\nCommunication between student and professor is key to any academic success.\n\nGood luck!

In most cases transferring to a different school is possible...some of the coarse work may be different or may not transfer and you will have to take it again.

Probably not a good idea since you're transferring. Are you transferring within the area? within the state? When you transfer, some credits you have may not transfer at all, or may not transfer to the degree you are working on. And also, your new college may have different core requirements. So more than likely, you'll have to take more classes than you intended--you'll be behind in the long run especially if you take a semester off.\n\nI've moved so many times and gone to school in 3 states that when I finally graduated, I had so many credits that were not applied to my degree. Did they think I took those classes for fun? Sheesh..

As far as I know, you can't.  You attended this other school, and, therefore, your records from that school are part of your academic record.  I don't understand why you can't get the transcripts from your old school.  As far as I know, colleges can only refuse to send transcripts when there are unpaid charges still on the student's account.  By the way, many schools require that you have a certain number of "new" credits (i.e., not retakes) on your transcript in order to graduate with a degree from that school, so your current university will most likely not grant you a degree until they have the transcripts from your old school.

You will have to go through their application process, but if you are certified in one state, many states have lateral transfer tests that catch you up on the specific laws of that state. Sort of a mini- academy. Some agencies may require you to go through the entire academy again. \n\nContact the agency you wish to join and they will let you know the requirements.

Yes you can transwer with only having 1 semester of college. It's best to transfer early. Good luck!

Go to a community college first, they usually don't require the entrance exam's and by the time you are ready to transfer, the new college looks at your transferrable crfedits and will no longer require you to take these tests!

Yes! Many community and 4-year colleges and universities around the country offer online or other format of distance learning programs. While you can pick virtually any school, residency requirements still affect tuition. Check with your local community colleges or regional accrediting agency for more info.\n\nThere are schools that operate purely online, allowing them to cater to specific niches and needs, but they tend not to be accredited. \n\nIf you know which university you may want to graduate from later, you can check with their registration department regarding transferring credits, and ask where many students transfer from.\n\nGood luck!

They transfer over, and you never 'lose' them when receiving a degree.  Those core credits are still there, even if you decide to get Bachellor's degrees in 20 different majors; they apply to all of them (at least as electives if they don't count for themselves).

Online, correspondence, and distance learning degrees are gaining some acceptance and respect as programs are proven complete and successful.  One thing to look at before jumping into one of the is the accredation of the company offering the course(s).  In order for the credit that you earn with one of them to be transferable, the place offering the credit MUST be accredited by a national AND regional accrediting body.  I STRONGLY suggest that you locate contact information for the accrediting body in your area and check it with them.  If you simply ask the school that offers the credit for the program you are considering, you will be told something like, "Every institution evaluates credit from another school based upon their own criteria and we can't tell you if our credits will be accepted by them or not."  That is a HUGE RED FLAG!  Do your own research!!

The units from the school where you received your Associates degree should transfer to the school you want to get your Bachelor's degree from.

It depends.  Many programs from Australia or the UK do transfer, however it depends whether ur school is accredited or not or whether the classes u took meet the requirements of the university u wish to study at.  3 years is a very short time to study, but if u took the appropriate number of classes, then i shouldnt be a problem, it all depends on the particular university and their degree program requirements.  GOOD LUCK!

You certainly can! SAT/ACT scores can help if you want to go directly to a university, but I'm sure you could attend a community college without a problem. If you check around at community colleges, many have "articulation agreements" so if you want to go to a university the articulation agreement will ensure that certain schools will accept all of the credits you earn there (a problem many transfer students face.) Community colleges cost less and typically offer more financial aid, so you could save yourself time & $ by going this route. You'll have a bunch of pieces of paper in no time! Good luck & congrats in advance!

The college you are transferring to will have a formula that they use.  You simply transfer, and they will ask for your transcript, and they will make the decision of how much credit you will get for each class.  In my experience, a 4 or 5 hour course from a quarter or trimester system converts to a 3-hour course for semester system, but you'll really have to wait and see.
