graduation help??????????????

Question

i discontinued my bachelors degree 20 years ago from a reputed univ , i approached the same institution for continuation but they denied. my basic qualification is Xth std.wat should i do ?

Answer 1

Most schools have specific limits on continuation of degrees which end at something like 5, or at the most 10, years. Most information has expiration dates, and when you hear schools say that they will let you finish an old degree quickly, they are usually not very well-respected institutions. If this was in a field in which you have been working for years, you might see if it is possible to enroll as a new student, but take waiver exams to exempt you from courses in which you have ongoing expertise. Otherwise, your options are to take a new degree or to go to a lesser school to continue your old one.

Answer 2

Get more information on why they denied you. Honestly, a college/university has the right to set limits on the veracity of credits, but most tend to give you a pretty wide window. I think the most restrictive I have heard is 10 years.

Do know that most colleges, most I have ever seen, have very strict limitations on accepting natural science credits, because the fields are very fluid, and changes occur. For example, when I took my first BIO 101 course back in 1994, there were 4 Kingdoms as far as taxonomy went (Plant, Animal, Bacteria, Monera); now I think there are like 7 (with Virii just hanging out there...). All of the schools I went to require any natural science credits older than 5 years to be repeated.

So, you might be able to use a bargaining chip of arguing credit for credit, and might be able to justify some of your world experience as validity.

If that doesn't work, attempt to transfer the credits to a school that WILL accept them, and once that is done, you may be able to transfer them to another school, or stay at your transferred school.

For example, transfer to a school that takes the 80 or so credits, and take 6 credits there, and then possibly try to transfer all of the credits back to your original school, or another school. The plan is dicey, true, and very "I Love Lucy" in its scheming, but it might work.

First, I would reiterate talking to them for specific reasons WHY you can't return from where you stopped, and see if they might re-activate SOME of your courses; some are better than none.

Good luck!!!

Answer 3

There will always be a reason your application was denied. I suggest contacting the university and politely asking what the reason was and what you can do to improve your application to the university. Putting up a fuss will get you noticed, but it will draw negative attention to you. Asking polite questions will help you figure out what you need to do to gain admission. It may be that you forgot to send an important piece of documentation or that you missed a deadline for something.

Answer 4

try to write to the president and try to make your letter make you look desperate. try to tell them about virtues of continuing education at an older age. try to write to your congressman, governor or the like so that you could make quite a ruckus.
