Switching Schools
Something every Spark-ED member considering a transfer needs to hear before they submit a single application.
The decision to transfer feels like moving forward.
For a lot of students it is also moving backward financially without realizing it.
Not because the new school is worse.
Because nobody calculated what happens to the credits they already paid for.
Some transfer directly. Some become electives that do not count toward anything specific. Some disappear entirely.
For a student who has completed 60 hours, losing even 15 of them to non-applicable credit is real money already spent on coursework that no longer advances the degree.
Before you apply anywhere, do this first.
Ask both schools the same question, credit by credit:
"What transfers directly, what becomes a free elective, and what does not count at all toward my new program?"
That answer might change your timeline by a semester.
Or it might change your decision entirely.
Drop below if you are currently considering a transfer and what school or program you are thinking about moving toward.
Let the community help you think through the credit math before you commit. 👇
