Enrolled elsewhere? Earn transfer credits this
spring or summer
Here's a pop quiz:
1. You'd like to shorten the time it'll take to complete
your four-year degree. – True False
2. You'd like to experience small classes and personal
attention from your instructor. – True False
3. You'd like to brush up on a subject you're struggling
with – True False
4. You'd like to save money – True False
If you answered "True" to any of these, consider picking
up some credits during the Spring/Summer semester at Oakland Community
College. Dozens of transferable courses are available.
Timing is Key
If you're going to do it, you should act now. Final
registration occurs at the start of May, and if you want official guest
student status you'll need to provide OCC with a guest student
application from your current college. The Spring semester begins on May
7 and concludes August 22 for 15 week classes, but remember that classes
are offered in a variety of time frames from five to 15 weeks in length.
Final registration for summer classes is June 28 and 29. Most summer
classes begin on July 2 and conclude on August 22.
Planning is crucial
You'll also need time to talk with counselors at both
institutions to make sure that the course(s) you want to transfer will
do just that. Some are likely to fulfill the general education
requirements for bachelor's degrees at a variety of institutions, while
others provide a more tailored academic value that may or may not be
equivalent to a required course at your institution. |
