<p>A lot of the universities I've researched say you need to apply to transfer before you have finished 2 years at your current college. What does that mean exactly? What if I finished, say, 1 and a half and then took a semester or two off? Can I still apply? What if I did 2 years at a college, went to work for 5 years, and then sought to go back to college--but at another school? Does anyone know the rules on this?</p>
<p>Well usually there is not general 'rule' to transferring after two years (that is with perspective from the colleges I'm applying to.) Although, it may be a disadvantage to you because if you come in say with 90credits, most colleges require you to get at least 60 credits to consider graduating from their school. Therefore, 2 years is usually 60 credits for most students. Hope this helps!</p>
