Paying for four years of college can be expensive. Tuition rates increase every year.
If you are planning on paying for all four years of your post-secondary education, you will probably have to develop a strategy for doing so. There are many options for college students who need money.
Some students apply for loans, others get grants, and still others apply for scholarships. Yet, with the recent increase in popularity of community colleges, junior colleges, and technical schools, a new option has emerged for students.
The programs at such schools are often cheaper, but still qualify the graduates to either enter into a profession or transfer to a four year school. Upon transferring to a school with four year programs, students are able to complete a bachelor's degree, improving their chances for employment in a job that pays well.
Many students who do not want to pay the money for a four year program will pay to get an associate's degree in order to transfer afterward. By doing so, they pay a fraction of the tuition paid by the students who attend a university for all four years.
If you want to take this option, you will need to follow the right steps to ensure that you make the most of this opportunity. You will want to be sure that all of your classes and credits transfer.
The first step to take is to look through some information about the colleges to which you wish to transfer. Determine which schools have degree programs in which you have an interest.
Many schools have websites that you can peruse. Check out any information the website has about admissions.
Often the entire admissions process and application will be posted on the website. If you prefer, you can contact the school by telephone, mail, or email.
The website should list a number which you can call to ask questions. Be sure to ask any questions which you have regarding the admissions process.
When you feel that you are ready to apply for transfer, get copies of your high school and post-secondary transcripts, making certain that you have one from all the schools you have attended. Either mail or take these directly to an advisor at the school to which you wish to transfer.
The advisor should be able to determine how many of your credits from your previous school will be accepted at the college. Meeting with the advisor before you start filling out the application should prevent you from applying before you are sure that all your credits will transfer.
After you have met with the advisor, you can begin filling out an application. Make sure that you fill out the correct forms.
In some cases, the university or college may have a special application for those students who want to transfer. The advisor may give you an application to start filling out after your meeting with him.
If not, however, you can probably find the application online. You may need to print the application and mail it to the university.
In addition to the application, you may need to send in other forms and documents. You may be required to compose a short essay regarding your educational ambitions.
You may also need to ask a few people you know to write letters of recommendation for you. Some universities may require an examination to be completed prior to granting admittance.
Regardless of whether they have their own test or not, many colleges will ask that you submit standardized testing scores. Be sure that you obtain copies of your test scores so that you can submit them with your application.
One of the last things that you will need to do is pay any fees related to applying. Have a check or credit card ready to pay.
The amount of the fee for transfer will depend on the university. Generally, though, it will not be overly expensive.
If, after you have obtained your associate's degree, you wish to continue on to attain a bachelor's degree, you might consider transferring to a four year program. In most cases, the work you have done to complete your associate's degree will count towards the general education requirements of the university.
You will be free, then, to pursue an education in a major that is applicable to your field of study. Or, you may decide to study something completely different.
The choice is yours! Take advantage of this opportunity to get a great education!
