I will really appreciate if anyone can pop in and share information regarding that matter.
I graduated university in US, but for personal reasons want to give up that degree. I am international and didn’t apply for financial aids and don’t have intentions to do so. I just want to know if that is possible.
Not sure I understand your question, but I think once you earn a degree, you have earned it. Not sure can give it back. Perhaps it can be taken away if you were caught cheating.
You can’t “give up” an earned degree. Sorry.
However, you don’t have to tell anyone that you have that degree except in very limited circumstances such as when applying for studies at another college or university, or when applying for a job that requires that you list all of your degrees.
If you graduated from a college or university in the US, and are now in a country that would require that your US degree be formally revalidated there, then you do have the option of never revalidating your US degree. In which case, if you do want a job that requires a college degree, you would need to start over from scratch in that country.
Hi, I am of a similar situation ( I’m prob. the only one who doesn’t feel your question being weird:D) I actually want to give up on my Bachelor degree from another country, as I am trying to start fresh in U.S as a new citizen by getting a Bachelor degree from U.S. Have you found your answer on how to “give up” your American degree? So I can follow similar path to “give up” my Bachelor degree from another country? Thank you.
It’s called gaming the system. Forget about it.
I don’t see what gaming there is. I also don’t see the advantage of giving up a degree. Nothing prevents you from getting another bachelors (at least in the US).
If you’re seeking a “second BA” many U.S. colleges offer those. You would get to skip the gen eds and just complete the major’s reqs, usually. But, perhaps a master’s would be more useful than a second-BA.
Some colleges don’t offer second BA’s. Financial aid is not available even if the second BA is in a totally different field and would be useful to gain lawful employment.
