Help!!!!!!!!!!

Applying to College
1

<p>Hello!! I have a problem and I really need some help or advice about it because I've been asking for help on this matter but nobody that I know can help me with it. I'm 20 years old and I graduated in high school in 2009. From there I went to Chaminade University of Honolulu and attended classes for a semester. Unfortunately, I realized that CUH was too expensive for me and I couldn't pay off my tuition and I had like $4000 in debt. So then I decided to transfer to Navarro College in Tx without any idea that if I don't pay off that debt, CUH wouldn't release my transcript. Navarro let me attend class for a semester without my transcript but after that my transcript should have already arrived. But that didn't happen because of my debt!! Since I've never had a career or a long term job because I had just graduated high school then went on to college, this is kinda hard for me. I'm the oldest of 6 children,my mom is a single wife,and my dad is the only one supporting the rest of the family so I have to handle my education and everything on my own. So my questions are:</p>

<p>1)Is there any way out there that I can pay off this debt quickly so the school can release my transcript instead of doing it paycheck to paycheck because that's gonna take me years?</p>

<p>2)Is it possible for me to just start new in another college??Start from the very beginning without the need of having records of previous schools that I went to?</p>

<p>3)Is there any way that these previous colleges can work with me with this debt? Like put it on hold and release my transcript with a contract or something that states that once I get my degree, I should have to pay it??</p>

<p>Well, thank you very much for taking your time to read my story and please, please, please help me if you can!!I'm desperate because my education is the only way for me and my family to have a better life!!</p>

<p>THANK YOU!</p>

<p>Any college you attend in the U.S. will ask for all previous transcripts. There’s really no way around it - admissions will verify through the National Student Clearinghouse.</p>

<p>I would call the university in question and ask if you can set up a payment plan, and once you pay off a certain percent of it, have your transcript released.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, no to all of your questions.</p>

<p>Colleges are unyielding, they know they’ll probably never getvpaid if they let you move on to another. And if you don’t disclose every college you’ve ever gone to, any new college will have grounds to expel you and/or rescind your degree.</p>

<p>The college won’t release your transcript until they’re paid in full.</p>

<p>Sorry, but they got ya.</p>
