<p>I started at my first CCC last year without any idea what I was doing. Now that I've finally figured out I want to go into nursing, I want to change schools to start over since my grades at my current CCC aren't helping. (Ex. I won't be able to retake a class I've failed again, need a higher GPA, etc.)</p>
<p>I'm just confused on that process. If I change schools, will I have to show my new CCC the transcripts from my last one or can I just start as a fresh student? If I have to show transcripts, will they just waive those classes I've passed or put in the grades I received? How would the records from my previous school affect my abilities to transfer if I'm able to turn things around at my new CCC? I really want to change schools for a fresh start, but some of the information I've received makes it seem like I'm screwed no matter what.</p>
<p>You can simply switch without showing your previous grades but you’ll start completely fresh. You’ll have to redo all your General Ed. I suggest if it is that bad, then start fresh.</p>
<p>Incorrect. You cannot start fresh, especially if you’re in the same state. The state subsidizes your education at a community college. So, when you enroll, the school and the state and the county do an audit to see how much money they’ve invested in you already. Your old CC info will come up.</p>
<p>Also, if you somehow enroll and they find out afterwards, you’ll be subject to an academic dismissal from BOTH schools. Then what do you do?</p>
<p>in addition, if you do happen to get pass your new CC, once you decide to fill out applications for transferring they will ask you to list ALL SCHOOL attended with transcripts. and if you get caught by them, you can expect that your academic dishonesty will look much much worse.</p>
<p>you can however, try to get an academic renewal. failling grades over 2 years can be “gone” but not completely dismissed. in place of a D/F you will get a “Z” letter grade. ask a counselor at your CC about this once 2 years have passed.</p>
<p>if you did bad, then just face it and move on. get As, and if you feel you have too, explain your GPA on your personal statement/essay when you apply. :)</p>
