<p>I was told as a 3rd year transfer you are limited to 4 semesters but what if only say 30 credits transfer?</p>
<p>Some universities do have policies about the total number of credits you can earn before you are booted out with or without a degree in hand. They set these policies because they want students to be focused, and to finish in a reasonable amount of time. If the university you go to has a policy like that, you may indeed be forced to choose the major that lets you finish within the allotted time frame.</p>
<p>However there are other institutions that really don’t care how long you take to wrap up a degree. If only 30 of your credits transfer, it will be fine if you need to stay for 6 semesters (or more) to finish your program.</p>
<p>Pick up the phone, and call the admissions offices at the universities that you are interested in. Ask them what their policies about this are.</p>
<p>would double degree or double major increase this time if there is such a requirement?</p>
