<p>Hi,</p>

<p>Well I posted this in another of the sub-forums, but I also wanted to post it here as it relates directly to Vassar (or my interest in it at the least). Well here is what I posted on the other thread</p>

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I am currently attending a community college, with the hope to transfer to a four year this fall. I first started CC taking welding classes, earning 30 some odd credits in 'Welding Technology.' This was more than anything for personal gain, not for a career path. After that I began taking my core classes/ general ed. classes. Well, fast forward to today, I am now on my 6th semester of CC. Looking at some of the schools that I would like to transfer to, I am beginning to get EXTREMELY worried. Take this one for example, "</p>

<p>"Maximum limit for considering applicants: once a student has completed more than four full semesters of college-level work, they are no longer eligible to transfer. Thus, students who already have a bachelor’s degree would not be eligible applicants."</p>

<p>Please keep in mind that my CC does offer a AAS in Welding Technology, therefore these welding classes are considered "college level" or 100 level classes. Would I be immediately disqualified from this school as a potential college transfer? Please, please, please help! </p>

<p>I have already sent out an email to the admissions office at Vassar, but I am hopeful that someone here will be able to alleviate my concern sooner. So does anyone on here have any knowledge on the topic on hand? Thanks.</p>

<p>Hi Magoon5,
I actually contacted them about this last semester. They stated to me that they have a firm policy regarding transferring after you have already completed 4 semesters at another university. In other words, they do not allow you to transfer after that point in time. Hopefully you can find a loophole though! Don’t take my word for it though and let me know what they say! Good luck!</p>
