<p>I'll be graduating cc with 78 credits. I'll then go to a college for one and a half years (45 credits) before enrolling in binghamton, rutgers new brunswick, or cornell cas. Will any or all of these schools allow me to transfer with that many credits (I don't care if they reject a bunch of my credits)?</p>
<p>bump bumpity bump</p>
<p>I am sure that is spelled out on each school’s website.</p>
<p>I transferred to a SUNY 12 years ago, and they wouldn’t take more than 68 credits as transfer.</p>
<p>No, and it really should be obvious. Your time in CC plus your time in the other college will amount to 3.5 years of education outside those schools. This means that you would only be in residence for 1 semester before you got your diploma. No college will grant you a diploma if you have only been there for 1 semester. Almost every college I’ve ever seen requires a minimum two years of residency to get a diploma.It seems that you somehow think there’s a back door whereby you can get a high quality degree for only a semester’s worth of work at a high quality university. The thing is that the universities thought of that long before you did, and instituted residency requirements for this precise reason. susgeek is also right; this stuff is spelled out very clearly on their websites, so the only way you couldn’t have known was if you didn’t make the effort to do any research about the transfer process or the schools you want to attend. Perhaps this will teach you to do more research before going ahead with your plans.</p>
<p>i know that you usually used to have at least two years to get a degree from an institution and I’m not trying to bypass that system. What I’m asking is will they grant me 60 or so credits and allow me to transfer, or do they only wan people who’s been in college for 2 years etc.</p>
<p>Typically I’ve heard that you need to finish at least 30 credits at your new college (the one you’re transferring to) which amounts to about a year. There might be some exceptions if you’re going from one program to another.
Call the admissions office, make an appt. and ask them yourself. They will know better than we do.</p>
<p>I’m glad to see that you’re not bypassing the system. That said, they are very strict about the two year requirement. They won’t discard a bunch of credits so that you can transfer; they will count them all. You therefore would be unable to transfer anywhere because you’ve done over two years of college. This is stated very clearly somewhere on almost every college’s website.</p>
<p>hmm I just came across this thread and now I’m beginning to think I might be in a similar-ish position. I went to a university for the past 1.5 years, but this semester I’m taking classes at a community college. I just applied to transfer into other universities for fall 2010. However, I was planning on taking classes at the CC this summer as well because it’s cheap and I still am not sure what I want to major in, so a chance to explore my interests. Does anyone know if the colleges I apply to transfer into will look at me as having already taken 5 semesters of college, including the summer, and therefore not let me transfer in, as I will have techinically done over two years of college? In addition, for the summer I will probably only be taking 2 or 3 classes, so I won’t be a full-time student, so perhaps it won’t count as a “semester of college?” </p>
<p>One last thing–does anyone know if you can get financial aid for more than 8 semesters of college? Or if you can get financial aid if you’re just taking classes–not enrolled in a degree program ( as I will be this summer, taking classes at the CC)?</p>
<p>tsakashvili, you seem to know a bit about this; any advice? or anyone else have any insight?</p>
