Still Me Posted May 4 Author Share Posted May 4 well I was looking into those online class ' study on your time' kinda places.... considering my previous college I have accrued 77 credits; 20 of those which would be considered pre-req, I would be able to transfer them over. Assuming they are accepted but places like that kinda dog you on it. So if just 10 move, that would bump me down to needing only 30 additional credits to get my BA. the shitty thing is that they only allow you to take 2 classes per 8 weeks(term), and they only have 6 terms a year....that would still be 2 1/2 years before I would see it. cost with books would be about 35,000 in total..... so then I wonder would it be worth the additional cost to go to an actual class type setting and be able to take 4 to 5 classes per term to get it in like a year and half.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
André Toulon Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 ....I'm not sure about this but isn't your transcripts like part of (I'm about to sound like a dumbass here) your permanent record and can be accessed through government (state or fed) agencies? Like I assume contacting your previous school is the most convenient way but I honestly think the kids mom had to contact the state to get her stuff from the trade school she went to that went tits up before she could finish her degree 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I assume contacting your previous school is the most convenient way but I honestly think the kids mom had to contact the state to get her stuff from the trade school she went to that went tits up before she could finish her degree I don’t think that’s usually the case. I had to pay a relatively small fee to access my transcripts at a private university, but I would assume it’s the same for a public university. The only thing that may be publicly accessible is whether or not you’re a degree holder, and that would be presumably because a degree might be a requirement for employment or certification/licensing. It would also be through your university and not the government. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I assume contacting your previous school is the most convenient way but I honestly think the kids mom had to contact the state to get her stuff from the trade school she went to that went tits up before she could finish her degree i imagine there would be some sort of trail, well, for those that used a PELL grant or any other fed/state $$ for school. i know all my transcripts are in my permanent USMC record, because i went to school while active and cleared up all my GE classes. and my credits for palomar should be in their data? maybe? if transferable, which all my credits were. it's funny, i was thinking of taking a couple classes myself, but the hassle of getting those records, and my fuck, those are over 20 years ago. i only need the credits transferred, take a couple child dev. classes, and i could teach LOLOLOLOLOLOL could you imagine? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don’t have free access to that. However, if we’re talking employment whereas they need to verify your education, you graduating with xyz certificate is the only thing they can freely search. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a multitude of reasons, most universities would be loathe to share information with the government outside of what would be required for a loan. The only way it would be is if the university goes defunct and at least some of the records are transferred to the DoE for criminal or loan forgiveness purposes or if you are required to provide proof of education to a government agency. Chances are if you paid off your education and loans, the government won’t have your records, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My university closed and their records are held by a different university for student access. The best case scenario for a university deciding to not safeguard student transcripts during closure would be negligence. I'd be surprised if there were no record retention regulations for education, especially when going to college is so expensive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imaging a lot of the students of defunct for-profit schools have lost their transcripts for good. Transferring records would be an arduous process even for the smallest of trade schools.
