I believe you'll find that, even though you have so many credits, you can still enroll in a community college as an undergraduate student in order to finish a particular degree program. In order to facilitate the transfer of your credits to this new school, be sure to have any evidence you can gather of the course content you had in your accumulated credit hours. A bulletin of classes from your former college or syllabi will be helpful to this end. However, please contact the school you are interested in directly...they will be best able to explain their policies. Good luck!

Community colleges will generally accept students regardless of their highschool GPA.  Generally the credits earned at a community college can be transfered to a university.  I would expect that if you preformed well at a community college you would be able to transfer to a respectable university with no problems.

it depends on the course you r going to take. ya! you can, if you are talking about the community colleges then it is better for you to have a green card otherwise you have to pay lot more than what you will be expecting. the college here is not free, you have to pay $81 per credit hour. so if you r taking 3 crdit course then multiply it and then other additional fees like computers, building maintenance etc. if you are coming here on student visa then i will suggest u to go to university directly.

Yes. You can.  Other answers have already touched upon the 2 yrs you can spend at a community college plus getting a good score on the SAT. That is always there. \n\nBut I recommend that you apply direct to the colleges of your choice from the beginning and explain in your essays and personal statement the very reason you mention above. Make it a very well written statement that shows what happened, what you learned, and how motivated you are to continue your education. Make sure you have someone you trust and admire read/edit/proof your personal statement (maybe a teacher or a counselor). \n\nYou may be surprised. Colleges look for people who in the face of challenging situations, thrive and come back stronger and wiser. You can do this! I applaud your commitment to your continued education!

All you can do is apply...\n\nMy suggestion would be to go to your local community college and then transfer.  If you have great grades there, you can get into pretty much any college.

My mother started college when she was 45 and finished with a graduate degree 4 years later.  She waited until we were all out of the house and then got out and took care of it.\n\nIf you go to a community college for the first couple of years you can ease back in, and even get credit for life experience.  You can take CLEP exams and almost get two years credit if you are an avid reader and have a good degree of general knowledge.  Go and see an admissions director at the local community college and see.  It isn't all that hard.  After you get your start and feel confident, you can transfer to a four year- accredited college as a sophomore or junior and finish up.  There are plenty of student loan programs you can qualify for if money is the issue.  Most in-state schools are affordable and accessible.  Since programs vary, pick the closest school to you and go in and talk to them.  You can do it!

I transferred from a community college to a private 4 year college without getting an AA degree first.  It depends on your GPA.  If you have at least a B average, you should have no problem getting into most colleges.  When you apply to other college simply apply as a transfer student.  They will evaluate your transcripts from community college. \n\nIf you call the admissions office of the college you are interested in attending, let the counselor know that you are currently attending community college and would like to transfer to their school.  They will give you the specific process on what you need to do as well as their requirements.  \n\nOnce accepted into another college, they will evaluate your transcripts from the community college and decide which credits they will permit to transfer over.   Any class that you did not at least make a "C" in will not be transferable.  Classes that you received a Pass or Fail in will not transfer either because they require a letter grade of "A" "B" or "C" in order to be considered to transfer over.\n\nAs far as the worth of an AA degree, it's debatable.  You will obviously save money by completing your AA degree if your state has a program that guarantees you a place at a state university once you graduate and full transfer of your credits earned.  (Florida has that program.) If not, I say transfer away.  Unless you are less then a semester away from graduating or getting a degree that will let you work while finishing your B.A.  Think Paralegal, LPN, act.  The other College or University is going to be interested more in your GPA then whether or not you hold an AA degree.

I don't think you'll have to start the transfer process over, but I think you'll  either have to retake the class or take another class in the same category.  This depends usually on whether the class you failed is a requirement for your major or just an elective.  Most schools in my state (NY) are like this, and require a C or better in all classes that you want to get credit for as part of your transfer.  I hope this helps, and good luck!

See i dont know how old u are, so Id say contact the school u went to and see what alternative THEY can give you. If not, like someone said, go 2 the nearest community college, because MOST of them have the program. Also, u can go o job corp. I have a close friend of mine who went there and he said it was a good experience 4 him

Every college has different standards in terms of what it's requirements for admissions. I would recommend checking out the university you're interested in attending and finding out what their standards are.\n\nIf your grades weren't the best in high school, it might behoove you to go to Junior College (Community College) first for a couple of years and then transfer, especially if you've shown that you can attain good grades at a collegiate level.

I'm pretty sure that many community colleges offer GEDs. They might even give you credit from classes you took in HS. Search for community colleges in your area.

That's a special quirk of the UC system. From what I can tell - I am only somewhat familair with their system - they only accept juniors as transfers. They either accept you right out of high school, or else after you've completed your Associates/sophomore year. But other universities make decisions in other ways. \n\nYour problem is that you took these classes post-graduation. It's not the same as when enrolled highschool take courses at local colleges for AP credit or the like. You actually graduated, then enrolled, even if only for two classes. \n\nSet up a meeting with your old highschool guidance consellor. I think you're going to need some help with this one, because the rules for who is, and who isn't, a transfer student vary by university. \n\nFor example, UMass Amherst defines a transfer student as a high school graduate or GED recipient who has enrolled at a college as a full-time degree student or who has attempted 12 or more credits of college study as a part-time student. If this isn't you, you apply as a freshman. \n\nAt Colorado University, a transfer student is anyone who's taken a college class after graduating from high school. \n\nHarvard considers people transfer students if they've completed one year elsewhere. Less, and you apply as a freshman. \n\nAnd then how they evaluate your record varies by college as well. At CU, so long as you've taken fewer than 13 college credits, they look at your high school record. But more than 13? They look at your college record. \n\nSo, again, it varies by university. Some universities will consider you a transfer student. Some will not. You may need some help wading through all of this, so again, contact your old guidance counsellor to see if they can help.\n\nAnd double check with the UCalifornia counsellor. Call a different UC admissions office and see what they say. But again, my interpretation is they only admit out of highschool, or after two years of college.

Community colleges will take anyone, try them out. Hell thay don't care if you even graduate highschool.

Depends on what you got those credits in.  Sounds like you have enough for some type of degree, even if liberal arts.  If you're lacking in some of the required courses for any degree, you might be stuck taking more classes.\n\nWish I could be of help.

yes, you can. 12 credit hours is the minimun requirement for a full time student, when you cannot have this you may not be qualified for financial aid and scholarship.  But when registering, there is nothing to deal with your credit, but maybe a different time to register for courses ( for example, if you get 1 to 29 credit hours, you have to wait until 2nd, 3rd,4th students finish. In other words, higher grade can apply first).

Many people are.  I know I was, years ago.  You may want to start with a liberal arts program at a local community college. When you find something that interests you can major in that subject and then transfer to a four-year school.  \n\nYou get the same diploma as the people that went there for all four (or more!) years, but don't waste all that money trying to figure out what you'd like to do. I tried it both ways and this is definitely the way to go, especially if you're paying for college yourself.\n\nGood Luck.

Switching from a Community College to a University is easy, your Counselor should be able to help you with the transition.  Switching from an ONLINE DEGREE or a CORRESPONDENCE COURSE to an University is hard to do, cause most of these ONLINE programs or Correspondence courses are not ACCREDITED.\n\nGood Luck and Prosper...;*!*;...
