Hold At Current University & Apply/Transfer To Another 4-Year While Paying Debt

Transfer Students

<p>Hi!</p>

<p>I am looking for some help and advice.</p>

<p>I attended a junior college and obtained my AA. Afterward, I transferred to a private school. I am a double major in Spanish and Kinesiology, with a minor in PE and Coaching. I am currently 9 units (3 Spanish classes) away from graduating, but cannot finish as I have a hold for $3,000 I owe from this past Fall semester. I had two internships in the fall that were going to start paying me, but i suffered two concussions (one from football and the other from being hit from a car) that forced myself to leave work and affected my classes. So I am jobless and struggling right now. I had a mental breakdown and am seeing a psychologist. Anyhow, I cannot access my transcripts, nor apply for my degree conferral even though I qualify. They want me to start making payments and have been able to work out a minimum of $100 a month (from the $400 they wanted previously) as I am in personal financial hardships. That is a great thing as I will not be sent to a collection agency.</p>

<p>Now on to the main situation: I am trying to decide on what to do in regards to finishing my classes I have left at another school, going abroad to play football, or joining the military. I wanted to see if my first option would be a possibility and pay what I owe in the meantime as I would rather try to kill two birds with one stone and not have to come back and take the classes I have left after. I'm trying to be cost effective and avoid defaulting on my loans. I have just applied to the University of Oregon as they have my classes and are a public school. I am looking to do the same for the University of Washington. I didn't put down my current school as they won't grant me access to my official tanscripts and if I put it down, they would ask for them. However, I don't want to get into any sort of trouble with the schools of I get accepted and go that route. How would go about this and whom should I speak to as I would need help with financial aid. I want to do this the right way and find a way out of this. Any help is greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>My current school is being a stickler and I am honestly fortunate that I am being given a chance to make payments. Would the schools I am trying to transfer to take unofficial transcripts? I feel a bit bashful about letting the schools (currently Univ. of Oregon know as I just applied and sent them my junior college transcripts) as I don't want to hurt my admission process.</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>Not listing previously attended schools is a big mistake, UO and UW will access your previous enrollments here:</p>

<p>[National</a> Student Clearinghouse](<a href=“http://www.studentclearinghouse.org/]National”>http://www.studentclearinghouse.org/)</p>

<p>When they find out, they will revoke your application. And particularly if you need FA, your past records will be found so you need to report all colleges.</p>

<p>Taking unofficial transcripts is doubtful, but it’s worth a call to ask; and a much better option that willfully omitting colleges from your record.</p>

<p>OT question, are UO and UDub OOS for you? If so, don’t any of your IS publics offer the courses you need? Just asking as you’re working on paying back debt and OOS tuition to publics is pretty steep.</p>

<p>Thank you. That’s what I was thinking. I wouldn’t want to hurt my possibility of getting in by that. What do you recommend my approach should be with Admissions; just explain the situation?</p>

<p>The in-state publics in California need you to apply at least a semester ahead, if not even to a full year. With financial aid, it would be about the same.</p>

<p>Can universities make some sort of provisional acceptance based on a circumstance as so or anything for that matter if I canno obtain them?</p>

<p>Yes, tell admissions that you have a payment plan in place but that at this point in time your transcripts will not be released. </p>

<p>Hope it works out for you!</p>

<p>Okay. I will that that. Thank you very much for your help.</p>
