thinking about switching colleges.
Okay, so I start this 2-year community college on August 20th. I already applied for financial aide & got it back and got my classes all set.
I'm having doubts now.
I've been wanting to go to this one 4-year university since last year. For some reason, I really want to go there now instead of the 2-year. Is there anyway at all I could somehow switch? It doesn't have to be this semester, I can wait until January for the spring semester. But I would just like to know if I can how would I go about doing this. Thanks.

Maybe give some free advice about: Colleges & Universities?
Yes, you can transer to a 4 yr. As long as you have the grades and whatever else they require. You will need to talk to the university (prob. somone in admission) that you want to go to and see what the requirements are. Also make sure that they will accept your other credits, some accept certain courses and not others- which stinks because you could be losing some of your credits.
So ask ASAP! In fact, you probably want to ask them about the ones you're taking this semester before it's too late to change them if needed.
They will usually only accept a certain amount of credits too- like maybe a max. of 36 hrs. or something. It's different for each school, so you have to ask them.
good luck.=)

There is no problem with the colleges, The four year university will be happy to let you sign up, especially after you complete one semester at the community college. The problem is that your financial aid won't follow you for the January semester. When you apply for financial aid, it is for the whole school year. both semesters.
So the only way that the four year university will accept you is if you pay cash for the full Janauary semester.
Next year ASAP (Jan or Feb. of 08,) when you apply for Financial Aid again, list the four year university as one of your schools. Then you will receive financial aid fir that university that will begin in Fall 08, for the university.
I hope this makes sense. I know it is confusing. I know some students and parents who found out the hard way.,
