<p>I plan on transferring to my community college for the upcoming 2013 spring semester. I am a resident of Pennsylvania and most of the 4 year universities here plan on striking over contracts regarding salaries. I currently attending one of those universities that plan on going on strike. Moreover, I did this once in the past, but I forgot how to switch my stafford loans and grants from one university to another.</p>
<p>Make change on your FAFSA</p>
<p>You can’t transfer your aid. You need to reapply for aid at the new school by adding it to your 2012-2013 FAFSA. Pell grants and Stafford loans will probably remain the same. Any other aid may vary, especially campus based federal aid such as WS, SEOG, and Perkins (as a spring transfer it is likely you will not receive those as most schools will have used up their funds) and of course any institutional aid will be different.</p>
<p>It looks like you started in community college. Keep in mind, depending on the number of credits that you already have, you may be ineligible for aid at the CC is you are over the credit limit. Also keep in mind that there is a 6 year cap on Pell. The goal is now for students to go to school and finish. Your going back to CC, could put you at a disadvantage of getting aid, when you are trying to finish.</p>
<p>1) Make sure to send your FAFSA to the new school.
2) Inform the old school in writing that you want to cancel spring aid.
3) Talk to the aid office at the new school to make sure everything is set there.</p>
<p>Okay, I asked for this information becuase I live in Pennslyvania and most of the state universities are about to go on strike including the universiy I am currently attending. If the universities go on strike students will be-able to attend class, but won’t get credit for attending. So I wanted to transfer back to my community college and earn some college credits and graduate in the process verses paying double and getting no college credits for it…</p>
<p>Yes - unfortunately, you will need to reapply to the new college. Each school is responsible for making aid decisions independently, and there can be a pretty big difference from one school to another. If you’re transferring to a community college, then you’re most likely looking at Stafford Loans and/or Perkins if you qualify. Some grant dollars might be available as well if you qualify.</p>
<p>How many credits do you currently have?
How many overall have you attempted?</p>
<p>Attempted:88
Passed: 62
Earned: 50</p>
<p>All I need is 10 more college credits to graduate, so one more full-time semester I can graduate from my community college. The reason my college credits at my community college are so odd is because I started out taking remedial courses part time, and taking a year off. </p>
<p>By the way, I know I don’t have to reapply, all I have to do is go somewhere online and make the adjusments, and contact both colleges. I just don’t know where online mustI go to make the adjustments.</p>
<p>You go to the FAFSA website. There is an option to make adjustments to your current FAFSA. Add your new school there. You technicaly are reapplying as this is the first time you are applying to this particular school. Aid won’t transfer as such, it will be awarded by the new school. Any Pell or direct loans will likely be the same or similar (though the cost of the school may affect the loans and whether they are subsidized or not). If you are receiving any campus based federal aid (WS, Perkins, SEOG) that will almost certainly differ as each school has their own limited funding for those, and their own rules for awarding those funds (plus are likely to have exhausted those funds at this time of year).</p>
