I am a senior and am applying at Northern Illinois University and I had a few questions about the online application. I am taking dual enrolled classes at a local community college and I am trying to fill out the page with the transferring process is done. I put in the college I'm transferring credits from and it asks a question and I'm not sure what to put. It asks for my current term of enrollment. Then it has what college im transferring them to so I put Northern and it asks 2 questions I dont know how to answer. Future term(s) of expected enrollment and number of hours you expect to complete. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!

When it is asking for current term of enrollment, it means the term you are currently enrolled in the community college. I would think it would be Fall 2007, if you are currently enrolled. If not just put N/A or not currently enrolled.

Lets assume you want to start college in NIU from Spring 2008. then that would be your future term of enrollment. The number of hours you can put as 12. Just because you put 12 credit hours does not mean you are going to register for 12 hours.

Often colleges ask you question so they have an idea of what you are going to do and they dont expect you to stick to what you state in the applications. Thats why we have an option to add/drop classes later on. Although you do not want to make a mistake on the application, you cannot really predict what you are going to do, when the term approaches as classes could be full, or you could have scheduling conflicts. So you might not go by what you state in the application.

Good luck!

im currently in the 11th grade.. and as early as now im already thinking about my college.. i plan to go to College of DuPage for 1 year or two.. then transfer to Northern Illinois University (NIU) for the remaining 2 years..

i plan to take Business Management and a minor in marketing..

please give me your thoughts about this .. is it a good idea?
or do you guys have any better ideas?
i might consider university of illinois, and northwestern..

i feel like community college is good because you can take your core classes for cheap. You can always transfer to a university to take all your other major classes. i really don't think there is a disadvantages of going to community college. unless you care about what people say like " oh look at that kid he/she went to community college."

But hey who cares what they say as long as you are doing it for yourself. :]

Like for instance…I'm a sophomore at a community college in Northern CA, and I really would like to transfer to a State university in Southern CA. I'll be a junior leaving on my own. So, I guess what I'm trying to say is how do college students make it on their own when they are away from home? or do their parents help them? There's just soo many expenses!!! and I really would like just a change in scenery in my life, that's all.. =\

I'm a freshmen this year at an out-of-state university, so I just left home

Right now, I have a job and I'm living in the dorms. The job pays for groceries and little things I need/want every now and then. Living in the dorm is (in my opinion) the best way to start out on your own in a university. It keeps you on campus, a lot of things are covered and there's always help around, so you're not alone.

I've only met 1 student here at my school who is 100% on their own, everyone else still has the help of family members. The family members can help pay for things if you run out of money or are in a pinch, help with tuition, etc.

So yes, most college students still have their families help, some even after the graduate.

If you have anymore questions, feel free to ask me
Good luck!

You should go to a college-planning website and find a list.

You could also do a Yahoo or Google search for N. Fla. CCs.

I heard if u get a certain gpa, u can transfer to state schools

NOVA has admission agreements with certain state schools.

See their page :

Yes, if you maintain a specific GPA and complete your associate's degree within the specified time frame, you will be eligible. NOVA has a wealth of online courses in addition to regular classes. I took a few from them while attending another VA community college.

If you are planning to transfer, work with your advisors at NOVA and work with the school you want to transfer to and map out which classes you should take. You can do the minimum of the associate's degree, but maybe you would benefit by taking some extra classes that will enable you to be prepared for a 4 year school. I worked very closesly with professors at my community college because they were able to tell me about past students they had transfer and what difficulties they ran into.

Also, I don't know what the most recent update is, but VA is trying to make it so that students attending a community college can have reduced tuition once they are in their 4 year school.
