Hello! Current student at GS. I’m wondering if anyone has successfully completed an internal transfer? Because of the lack of funding at GS it’s quite possible I’ll be forced to drop out unless I can transfer or find another source of funding. (I’m first generation, low-income, and my family will not co-sign a loan. I was able to get a private loan on my own this past semester, but now they refuse to lend without a co-signer).
According to the website, it’s possible to transfer from GS to the College, but only for academic reasons. See http://bulletin.columbia.edu/general-studies/undergraduates/academic-policies/transfers-within-columbia/
You might consider getting a decent-paying 9-5 job and switching to a part-time schedule at GS, if you want to avoid dropping out.
