I’ve transferred 3 times, considering a 4th, is that too much, will I lose too much time/credits?
In most cases you must complete the final 60 (or so) credits at whatever institution will grant your degree. Some colleges also require that a certain # of credits in your major be done at that school to receive your degree. So any transfers after completion of your sophomore year may cost you extra time/credits. The particulars will depend on your individual situation, and you should contact the colleges involved for more specifics.
And potential employers may ask you why.
@TomSrOfBoston wouldn’t employers just look at the school I graduated from which is where my degree would be from
No, you should tell them all on your resume, and it is often asked on employment forms as well. I’d say 3 schools tops. It seems like it isn’t the schools… you just look like you have poor judgment and lack the ability to stick to something if you keep hopping.
Some employers require transcripts, especially engineering and business.
I think that this is going to look bad on your transcript, regardless of whether you look for a job or apply to graduate schools once you graduate (assuming that you do eventually graduate).
I think that you should stay where you are and plan to graduate at some point unless you have an extremely good reason not to do so.
@TomSrOfBoston why would you even tell an employer? On your CV, just put the college that you graduated from.
Presumably because you’ll only have spent part of your college career at the school you graduated from, and employers might ask why you only have one year (or whatever) of undergrad on your resume. Did you graduate in one year? Where’s the rest? Why aren’t you showing it?
The final school will grant your degree. You are not hiding anything by listing name of the degree granting school only. Plus, credits transfer. It’s not like you’re carrying arround transcripts from all the different schools.
Some employers will require seeing all transcripts. The more responsibility the job involves, the more likely they will ask for transcripts. Companies have been burned before by deceitful applicants. Many companies do background checks on applicants. You must agree to that or the application process ends.
