I want to switch schools.?

Question

I am a 22 year old returning student going to the University I always wanted to. I started back in 2003 and my 1st semester was god awful and my 2nd semester I dropped out. I just needed to grow up more. So I did, and returned to school this past summer after taking 2 ½ years off. I have been here 2 semesters as a part time student and taken 11 hours. I made a 2.5 over the summer and a 3.0 this fall, but the school is still laying down the law on me for my pass grades. It is making it so hard for me to do a better job. I moved from another state to come back to school here but I now think that was a bad idea. I want to move back and go to a community college there but the university won’t send my transcript so that I can transfer. Is it possible for me to apply to the community college as a new student with out trying to receive transfer credit? Will they care that I had gone to another school? At this point a have only complete about 25 hours so I don’t care if I lose the credit or not.

Answer 1

YES you can but it is strange that this "school" will not transfer your credits. I think that you should contact the State Department of Education in whatever state that they are located then the Better Business Bureau just to make sure that they are doing what they should not only in your case but in everyone's best interest. You migvht also write a Letter to the Editor in several area cities & Towns around that school. They will NOT LIKE this in the newspapers either. I hope that you get the credits that you actually deserve!

Answer 2

There is no reason for a university to refuse to send your transcript to another school. Even if they do, there is no certainty that you will get all of your credits accepted. You can apply as a new student, but that will not work if you have already applied as a transfer student. When you transfer your grades, they all go, good and bad. Any bad grades will have to be made up eventually. Your transcript is the University's record, but it is also yours. You may have to pay a fee for it, though most colleges and universities send the first few for free, but they cannot legally refuse to send your transcript to another school.
