How do I mention on a resume that I attended college put never graduated?

Answer 1

put the college, list your major, then how many hours you have completed. on your resume it should look like this -

Education: University of Texas; Journalism; 66 hours completed

DO NOT put the years, explain that during the interview. You put the years on your resume as others hv suggested, they'll trash your resume before you hv a chance to pitch your skills. Put your education on your resume as i've suggested, it gives the impression you are still attending.

its better than communicating you quit before they even speak to you!! resumes are to get you in front of the interviewer to discuss your skills in more detail - you can be vague, just don't lie. be perpared to answer why you quit ):

never too late to go back to school!! every completed class benefits your future!! Good luck (=

Answer 2

List the years you attended and relevant classes to the job you are seeking.
If you did not graduate, just don't make a false claim that you did or got a degree. People who did or got a degree will list it.
Many people take classes but do not necessarily get a degree.
If the interviewer asks if you graduated, say "not yet, I still need XX number of hours".

Answer 3

Put it under an Education banner - with an expected date of graduation (meaning, you should be planning on going back). If you aren't planning on going back, then try putting it in-line with your other work experiences, like:

1993-1994, Student, Phakersun University College, Someplace, US
- Took X credit hours in classes ranging from ______ to ______. Learned .... Participated in .... etc.

Make sure you get someone to read over your resume when your done.

Answer 4

You don't have to put down that you 'didn't finish'. Just put down the name of the college you attended and the period you attended (dates and year(s) ). It's not good to volunteer any negative information on your resume. If they ask it on an interview, then be honest, but don't volunteer unless they ask you about it.

Answer 5

Be honest, just put something like, 1990-1992 Cal Poly State University. Majored in Micro Biology. Left college in 1993 due to family obligations. Or if you don't like Cal Poly, you can make up some other college...LOL...

Answer 6

Attended GREAT SMIth Community College

Attended - Best Ever College

Attended means just that - and they may not think of your skills as needed because they may feel you don't care enough to graduate.

GOD bless AMERICA!

Answer 7

i normally put the classes or subjects completed and GPA if it was good. if you never even finished a class i would not put it but if you completed two semesters with a major in xxx then i would put it. even specific classes if they are relevant to the jobs you are applying for:

XYZ University completed (GPA 3.7):
Introduction to Business 3credit hours 'A'
Business Processes 3 credit hours 'B'
Business Mathematics 3credit hours 'A'
etc
depending on how much room you have on the resume
and if you have other important things to put on there.

Answer 8

you mention your educational experience and then instead of term completed you can put

"Degree in progress"

then you explain to your prospective job that you have not graduated yet, but if ever given the chance, you'd love to go back.

Answer 9

I put: University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN; one year toward degree in Business

Answer 10

put something like:
attended BlahBlah University from 2001 to ?
