<p>Currently I am Howard University, and am transferring next semester in the spring to Georgia State. The only reason I'm at my current university is that I got accepted to Georgia State late, and by then it was too late to switch since I had already paid for housing, moved etc.</p>
<p>I reactivated my intent to enroll in spring for Georgia and they asked if I've been to any school since being accepted (from fall 2013, which would be now,-spring 2014 when I would arrive there). So my question is if I were to say that I'm not at Howard, is there a way for them to verify that? I received financial aid but through the school, not through FAFSA or any other type of government loan. Would it show up anywhere that I intended here? Georgia State is a fairly large school so I would think (and hope) that they wouldn't go through each student and check extensively. I wouldn't be receiving any financial aid through FAFSA for Georgia State, I would however be receiving a in state tuition waver if that means anything. By Georgia's understanding, I am coming in with 60 units from my junior college, so I'm not quite sure how it would show up that I attended Howard for a semester. The plan is to say I worked during the fall semester to help pay for school.</p>
<p>I've looked into this question and most of those stories have been about people who are applying to certain universities....not so much people who have already been accepted. </p>
<p>Any information/would be appreciated!</p>
<p>All the time for new enrollees.</p>
<p>The only way to get around reporting this semester at Howard, would be to arrange to withdraw completely from Howard before any academic record was generated. If you would end up with a transcript full of Ws, you would be withdrawing too late.</p>
<p>Whenever you apply for admission to a degree program at an accredited college or university in the US you are obligated to provide official copies of your transcripts from every other college and university that you have ever attended. No matter where in the world that place is located. No matter if it was accredited at the time you attended or not. It really is that simple.</p>
<p>Let the U that you intend to transfer to know that you are at Howard this fall semester, and let them know why. You are at Howard because your acceptance at the other place you evidently prefer arrived after you had already moved in at Howard. Had that acceptance arrived even a day or two before, you almost certainly would have been able to cancel your registration, and get out of your dorm and meal contracts.</p>
<p>As for your transfer credits, let the new U take a look at your credits from Howard (that is if you can’t arrange to withdraw now), and let the registrar’s office there decide which of your CC credits and which of your Howard credits to use, and for what. They do this kind of thing all the time.</p>
<p>happymom - Yeah, by this point it would be a transcript full of w’s which would only make all of this worse. I figured it would be too late to submit another reactivation form with me suddenly listing that I am currently at a university after I just sent a form saying that I wasn’t. </p>
<p>I’ll see what I can do lol wish they would have accepted me earlier! I don’t want to have my admission rescinded. Who should I go about contacting that I am currently at Howard? Admissions I’m guessing?</p>
<p>Sorry it seems my post #3 is out of left field. I was answering a now deleted post about how often schools check the National Student Clearinghouse.</p>
