I would like to Transfer to UC system, right now i'm not in California, and don't want to travel there just to take GenEd classes. Do You know any "cheap" online ccc? Is common for ccc to give scholarships? Specially for international students??
Well I have my O level results in my hand but not the certificate yet. To clarify, there are two types in results. The results released on their website/ sent by mail AND the official certificate. The certificate won't arrive untill mid March but I'm trying to apply this spring semester. Can I apply with just the results.
Hi there! I’m asking for my girlfriend who recently went through some traumatizing event that made her no longer comfortable studying at her current institution. She’s considering taking a gap semester and transferring to a CC with a bachelor’s program to complete her education. Her gpa is in the lower range due to a lot of things, and she’s also an international student on F1 visa. All things considered going to a CC might be more cost-effective.
Regarding international students going to CCs: Would the F1 process be any different and when she graduates would she be able to get STEM OPT if she does a Biology major?
More generally, I know most CCs operate on a 100% acceptance rate but does that apply to students who wish to transfer from a typical uni? Also are the classes typically easier or harder since we’ve heard both?
Would also appreciate any general suggestions and advice.
Thanks in advance.
Hello does anyone know if there's a pdf for a child development book called "Foundations of Early Childhood Education on Teaching Children in a Diverse Society, Janet Gonzalez Mena" Edition 7
Is it normal to have your CC request that you find your own internship? I’m in my final semester and have no required internship. The enrolled in the “class” and it’s paid for. How can I go about requesting the college to set the money aside for summer semester so I can have some time to find a proper place? I don’t understand this process at all.
Is it bettwr to transfer mid freshman year or transfer into sophomore year.
Im currently a freshman at a cc but I wanna do an early transfer I applied to transfer for the spring semester of a uni i was gonna attend in the fall and got accepted as a transfer.
I do wanna attend but idk if I should as idk how easy it would be to adjust to a new school mid year and commuting/dorming is another issue and idk how financial aid would he affected. I also failed a remedial class last semester.
I would like to hear advice from transfer who attend a uni as a sophomore or freshman and how it was adjusting and catching up with campus life at their uni.
I also don't have a major if that would add any context
I turned in an assignment at 11:58 on Canvas but the computer recorded it at 11:59 and although it is due at that time it was marked late in Canvas. What to do? I emailed my professor explaining myself, but I’m scared because she explicitly said no late work and this is technically somehow late. I should’ve taken a screenshot for proof but I didn’t :/ What are my chances on this?
This is my first post so bear with me…but ive found my college years to be quite a bit lonely so far. Ive tried meeting new people and reaching out to friends both old and new but they always seem to be busy with their other friends. I’ve tried clubs and sports teams but it seems like everyone already has a clique. I keep reaching out to my friends but I feel like I come across as desperate. When trying to make new friends, it seems like it always becomes just a “in-class” type friendship. I guess I am just looking for a bit of advice on how to make some good/close friends because the loneliness is starting to weigh on me a bit. Thank you for listening <3 Edit: thank you guys so much for all your advice! I will definitely try to put myself out there more!
Might be moving to the US for community college and then transferring to a better one but just scared how it will all work out living by myself. Im 18 and am a us citizen, I will try to establish residency so i can pay in tuition fees. My community college doesnt have housing
Is it good to major in business administration with a concentration in finance for my undergraduate degree and then have a master's in finance? I love finance and it's my passion to learn about it. Is this a good roadmap for my academic career, or am I wasting my time?
I would like to major in finance as my undergrad, but since I am in a community college, there aren't many agreements to transfer to a 4-year institution as a finance major for some reason( California)
Does anyone have experience with apostilling a California Community College transcript? I am getting conflicting information about whether a notary must sign something to go along with the transcript, or if taking the sealed, official transcript in person for it to be apostilled is good enough. I live out of state, so I cannot sign an affidavit. Would like to hear from past experiences.
Hello everyone! I wanted to share about a study through the University of South Dakota that is looking at interventions for college students experiencing symptoms of anxiety and/or depression. Must reside and attend college in the United States. Participants will be assigned to receive one of three interventions online for three weeks, along with pre- and post-surveys. Interventions include qigong, meditation, and stress management techniques. Time commitment for the intervention averages around 40 minutes. If you are interested, please email mindful.student.research@gmail.com or text/call 605-389-3086 to get started!
How do I survive being on campus with no cafeteria and no car for 7 hours? Like what do I do about food!?!? I'm recovering from an eating disorder and I can't just not eat. There's nowhere safe to walk to, it's surrounded by busy roads and the nearest restaurant is too far to walk in the hour I get for lunch... HELPPP I'm also broke asf so I can't spend boocoos of money on packing my lunch 😭 Do ya'll have any cheap, filling, lunches ya'll pack? Preferably high in protein bc I'm actively trying to build muscle and gain weight... Thanks in advance 😅
Oh, sure, I'll just “go with the flow” like I have no plans, no deadlines, and no idea what I'm doing. Meanwhile, the university transfer office treats me like I'm an alien species. Sure, give me a roadmap to success... if that roadmap is a treasure map with no X to mark the spot! Anyone else?
Hello guys, can you help recommending some universities/community colleges that you know that are open for internacional students?
I would like to know about possibly free universities (i know that there are yet no one in US, but if you know any, please share the information).
And community colleges in general which accept internacional students. Because their prices usually are cheaper.
I don't know if there are any which can offer housing in campus with a cheap price? Or any kind of financial aid/scholarships for internacional students?
I'm grateful for all the informations.
Thank you very much.
So pretty much I want to go from university to community collage for a number of reasons,I am a freshman at university and I do plan to finish this school year off here but sophomore year I want to go to community collage instead, am I able to transfer all credits I earned into community collage? Is there any barriers or complications I need to look out for ?
I wanted to share this to let you all know that anything you set out to achieve can be done. A little over a year ago I was in rehab. Today I am aiming to obtain a B.S. in Computer Science.
Don't give up.
Everything you have ever wanted is not as far away as you think.
Does anyone know of a community college that accepts admission without asking for high school transcript? Doesn't matter which state it is. Will appreciate
Hello! I am not the one in college with this problem, it’s my sister. So basically, my sister is trying to graduate on time when earlier she took either a gap year or semester. my brother’s wedding is taking place in the middle of summer out on the motherland lol. All i know is that she is required to take two different summer sessions in summer, and in my culture the wedding is at least a few days. the end of the first summer session happens right before the wedding and the beginning of the second happens during or after. however, she thinks some of the classes she’ll need to take for the second session might be ones that build upon previous classes and require you to be present in an actual physical class. The date is SET and now she doesn’t even know if she can make it to the country (which requires many connecting flights and things) let alone make it at all. She says that the school she goes to is getting weird about people having to be physically present in classes like labs. She tried checking other schools around our area and all have the same scheduling issue. I don’t know how to help her so i’m wondering if any of you know what she could do!
Thank you so much, please give some insight and possible solutions if you can!!!
Hey guys! I was just curious if 81-86 credits look good for transferring to UW Seattle for info major. I’m transferring from a WA CC and they said that below 90 credits are given less priority, although I’ll have two five credit courses at the time of applying.
Also how important is it to complete the DTA? Like doing lab sciences and stuff like that even if your major doesn’t require it (mine only has three prerequisite courses and they are all 4.0s).
Any info helps, thank you!
I'm trying California Virtual Campus for the first time and I'm currently waiting for some chemistry classes to have sections (they have TBA written at the moment). For people who have used it and were in the same situation, do you guys know when or if it'll even update? I feel like spring is so close to starting too. I contacted the home college to see if they might know when it'll update but they said their office is closed right now.
Hi, I'm enrolled at a CSU and want to take courses over the summer at a community college or UC. Does anyone know what the process is like for applying for these courses or how I'm supposed to start looking? Would I also be able to take classes at a UC (as a CSU student) over the summer? any info is appreciated.
Hey everyone, I’m a senior in high school and I’m planning to finish my AA at Valencia College in just one year(in Business Administration). My goal is to graduate quickly so I can transfer to UCF. Along with that, I’m aiming to join the Seneff Honors College at Valencia.
I’m fully aware this is an ambitious plan since I’ll be balancing a full-time academic schedule, ROTC responsibilities, and trying to meet the requirements for the Honors College. I also don’t have any financial support, and the FAFSA shows my SAI is –1500.
I was gonna join ROTC for the scholarship benefit.
I would really appreciate any advice on managing a heavy course load, tips for applying to the Seneff Honors College, or suggestions on balancing ROTC while staying on top of my academics. If anyone has experience with this type of fast-paced schedule, I’d love to hear your thoughts!
Thanks in advance for your help!
