How do you transition during the semester?
Q. I am transgender and have decided to begin my transition during college. It is currently the middle of the semester. Would it be better/easier to wait until the end of the semester, and attend school as a girl next semester? If I decide to transition during this semster what hardships might I face?

A. i think it all depends on your confidence. if you want everyone to know about what you did and dont care about the reaction of others then do it sooner rather than later. but if you want to start over; new life new friends, new everything, then it would be best to do it next semester

How many classes do I have to take per semester to graduate in two years and transfer?
Q. I took this first semester off to work full-time because I desperately need to save up money. I will be starting school at a community college next semester January. I will also be working part-time. How many classes should I take each semester in order to graduate in two years and transfer to a four year university? (Even if it means I have to go to school during the summer.) HELP!
Asked by Nessa M. - Thu Sep 11 20:47:39 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. You usually need 60 credits for an Associate's degree, and 120 credits for a Bachelor's degree. One course is usually 3 credits. There's 2 main semesters per academic year -- Fall and Spring. The minimum amount of credits you can take to be considered a full-time student is 12 (four classes). The maximum amount of credits you can take without needing the dean's permission for a course overload is 18 (six classes). The average amount of credits taken per semester is 15 (five classes). Based on that information, if you take 15 credits in the Fall semester and 15 in the Spring, you will have earned 30 credits that academic year. So in 2 academic years, you will have earned 60 credits, which is enough for an Associate's degree at most… [cont.]

What is the difference between semester hours and credits?
Q. What does 27 semester hours mean? Is it like having 27 credits?
Asked by Jennie - Tue Dec 11 11:43:38 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. No, they are not the same. Semester hours indicate how many hours the classes added up to in that semester, for instance a 3 hour class or a 4 hour class with a lab. But credits are assigned to a class regardless of how many hours they are. You need so many credits to graduate, but no specific number of semester hours are required. For instance, if you take a class for audit only (meaning not for a grade) it will show up as semester hours, but you will get no semester credits for it. The same is true if you fail a class.

How do I cancel my financial aid for fall semester?
Q. This will be the 2nd time, will this harm my future coverage of financial aid? I waited too late and now i need to cancel my aid again. Who should i contact and how long will it take? I will be going to a community college spring semester instead and i need financial aid coverage for that semester. Thanks.
Asked by **Lm** - Fri Aug 14 15:41:21 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It shouldn't hurt you if you cancel your aid. Call the financial aid office at your school and tell them you will not be attending. If you drop or don't enroll in classes, the school will just return the aid to where it came from. Just be sure to correct your school for the spring semester on your fafsa. And understand that not attending school this semester will not get you more money for next semester. If you don't attend, you don't qualify for the money...it can't be saved up. I'm not sure that's what you're thinking, I just wanted to clarify.

Asked by Drew - Mon Sep 14 05:18:17 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Most schools actually wait 4 weeks into the semester before giving you any extra (esp if you are a freshman) so you would have to use your own money that you have saved WAY ahead of time for deposits and such if you wanted to be there before school actually starts. Keep in mind that appartments require you to sign leases and most of the time the time for your lease doesn't correspond with the school year or the semesters you will be attending school.

How do you take semester credits and turn them into quarter credits?
Q. I have 74 semester credits on my transcript. But I'm transferring to a school with a quarter system. Should I just double the number? I guess it means I have 148 semester hours?
Asked by chicojaunito - Fri Aug 14 00:50:36 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. if the school your transferring to takes all the credits youve earned, they should go ahead and take care of all of that for you, so there isnt anything you should worry about besides giving them an official transcript to make sure their class work criteria is sufficient to theirs.

What day would be 60 percent of the semester?
Q. I am going to withdraw from some courses at my university but need to wait until the 60 percent mark so I do not have to repay the financial aid. Our semester started on August 25th and ends December 11. I have a rough estimate of sometime this week but I wanted to be sure before I drop anything. Yes, I could ask the school but I wanted to get it done tonight if possible and of course they are closed :). Thanks! The withdrawal deadline is this Friday, the 24th. So either way I have to do it by then, no it will not cause anything other than a W.
Asked by Kerry Eileen - Tue Oct 21 22:20:33 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. There are exactly 108 days from August 25th to December 11. To get the 60 percent mark you multiply 108 by .60 and you get 64.8, which you round to 65. So, the 65th day would be the 60 percent mark. The 65th day is October 29th. One week from tomorrow! Edit: If the withdrawal deadline is the 24th and you knew that, then why did you even ask this question? It doesn't matter what day is the 60 percent anymore, if you don't withdraw by the deadline, you will still get a grade.

Asked by jim k - Wed Jan 30 20:51:12 2008 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Most schools operate on the semester system. Fall semester is from mid or late August to mid December. Spring semester is from early or mid January to mid May. Then in the summer you usually have two summer sessions where you can usually take 2 classes per session. The quarter system divides the year up into 4 quarters, 3 months each. You don't take as many classes as a regular semester because the time period is shorter and you have to cover more material per class session. Many quarter system students go year around. I think it's a personal preference, but I would prefer the semester system because you can have more time to concentrate on your classes and learn the material in greater depth.

How many credits do I have to take a semester if the college requires 134 to graduate?
Q. I am majoring in Math teachers and the requirement to complete the bachelor degree is 134.Do I have to take 18 credits a semester?
Asked by __A_YAHOO_USER__ - Thu May 21 07:14:52 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Just under 17 a semester. So, probably 16 credits through a couple of semesters, but 17 the rest. As most classes (unless you're a science major, with a lot of 4 credit classes, and 1 credit labs) are 3 credits, so you'll probably have to do 18 most of your semesters, and 15 credits for one or two. Here's an example Freshman year: Fall: 15 Credits, Spring 18 Credits (33) Sophmore year: Fall: 18 Credits, Spring 18 Credits (69) Junior year: Fall 18 Credits, Spring 15 Credits (102) Summer Internship: 6 Credits (109) Senior Year: Fall 15 Credits, Spring 12 Credits (and a lot of interviewing at either jobs, or graduate programs) Total: 136 Credits

I want to know if it's possible to go to another 4 year college near home if I started already at another school.

Asked by Dizzy - Sat Jan 26 20:25:23 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Yes. I suggest you make an appointment to meet with an academic advisor at the college of your choice and bring with you an advisement copy of your transcript. Remember: the college to which you transfer has the final say in deciding what credits/courses are accepted. This was an excellent decision on your part. It will save you time and money in the long run, and make the transition much easier. That translates to better grades and better adjustment and attitude. Best wishes.

What are some advantages and disadvantages to taking a semester off college?
Q. I'm in the process of transferring. I was considering taking off a semester so I can figure out exactly what I want to do. Any comments/suggestions regarding this? Thanks :) I would be working during my time off (to save up and help pay for the rest of college) and visiting colleges that I've been thinking about transferring to. I've already had two years at one university, but I'm realizing that the path I'm on is not really the path I want to stay on. Just trying to keep my options open and discover what else is out there. I would try to work in a field that interests me in order to get a feel for it and see if it would be something I would want to do later on in life.

A. I had a friend who took a semester off of college - he did not do well. He found the transition to work very difficult in the loss of friendships and loss of people his own age. He found it was very difficult to go back to school after a year off - all his friends had graduated, he was used to a higher income, and again it was a difficult transition. I think staying in school is much more important, so many people do not return. That being said, there are positives: extra income, a chance to get priorities in order, valuable experience in internships and other learning experiences. An option instead of time off would be to take advantage of your career center, counseling services, etc. College is an excellent time to explore… [cont.]
