Do I have to earn my Associates prior to enrolling in the transfer instituation?

Transfer Students

<p>I applied to the University of Michigan and I am accepted. On the common application, there is a question asking if I earned or be going to earn any degrees prior to enrolling in the transfer institution. I said I will earn my associates because I thought I fulfill all the requirement for the Associates degree at my current community college. I realized today that I need to take 2 more courses to earn my AA. I can take these courses during summer but I don't want to waste money and time. Even if I take the 2 courses, those credits will not transfer to U-M since I already have more than 60 transferrable credits. Also, I am an international student so taking the 2 courses will cost about $1000. </p>

<p>You don’t have to, but you should call or e-mail and let them know that you will not be completing your degree prior to enrolling at UMich.</p>

<p>Brishe is right. Call and see what they say. It seems the AA would just be an unnecessary formality.</p>
