<p>Hello,
I am currently a student at a local school. I will be finishing out the fall term and moving to another city when it is done. I am trying to find out if I can add a second school to my fasfa and have it cover the new school for winter term. I know fasfa can take a while to be approved, but I am trying to find out if barring time constraints is this possible.</p>
<p>Anyone have any experience with this?</p>
<p>FAFSA isn’t “approved” really, it’s just processed. If you add a new school to your FAFSA and resubmit it shouldn’t take more than a few days to process. The lag time is usually at the financial aid office as they need time to prepare the award package. Have you been accepted yet?</p>
<p>Thank you,</p>
<p>I need to decide between finishing my AA or going straight the the University. I only have 21 credits left for the AA and would be done this coming spring. The move is rather sudden, but will be best for the whole family. But I fear it is goign to mess with me.</p>
<p>one of the biggest things you will face is losing credits when you transfer from one school to another. If you finish your AA, you can transfer straight into a 4 year school without any real loss of credits keeping you on track with your graduation plans.</p>
<p>I am hoping I won’t loose too many. I wish I could hold off the move until spring, but it doesn’t look likely. And unfortunately the credits I still need includes 3 classes with labs and I have to do them local.</p>
<p>Ask your new school to do a transfer course articulation for you asap. Is it possible that you could rent a room/share an apartment in order to finish your associate’s in the spring? It may save you an extra semester at a more expensive school, since those transferring in with an associate’s degree often are exempt from completing the expanded gen ed requirements that most four year schools have.</p>
<p>Nope staying isn’t possible. I might be buying a house in the differant town. It is a great chance and loosing some credits will be worth the chance.
Thank you for your advice. As soon as we know for sure if the I will talk to the advisors at the school I am at and at the two I might be going to.</p>
