Exactly how many courses and credits do you need to get a degree from your school? Can you take any of them elsewhere, like at a cheaper state school, or community college? Where are you living?
Though many families have a “4 and Done” policy, what does one do if the student has several courses that HAVE to be taken at the college which is not local to parents’ home to graduate? Just “too bad, so sad”, not getting a degree when that close, and going anywhere else means 2 full years of courses and residency at another school to get a degree from anywhere? Depending on how much more time
and credits needed, and if parents can afford it, many parents will fund the extra time if the cost and time to continue with Original U is less than starting over as a transfer student at Another school.
If there is no way to get the funds to finish up at Original U, it’s time to job hunt and start looking at local public options that may take your credits and let you graduate in the next two years or more.
