Transfer Students
1

<p>Hi. I am a 44 year old, originally from N. Ireland. I do not have my ‘O’ Level or ‘A’ Level records available, but I hold an Associates degree from a college in England. I decided to go back to study, and sat my SAT exam just a few weeks ago. I was wondering if admissions would accept the SAT scores and my associate’s diploma in lieu of ‘A’ Level records, or do you think they will require me to obtain copies?</p>

<p>I should note that I am now a US citizen and applying to a NJ University.</p>

<p>A lot of the time if you have 2 years of college completed, all you need are your college transcripts and any testing specified. Check the transfer admissions website of your target colleges. If it isn’t clear, then email admissions. There is a ‘nontraditional’ student sub-forum, which is what your are, but it is rather quiet.</p>

<p>Yours is a pretty unique situation, I think you’re going to have to call/email specific schools and ask.</p>

<p>You might also want to take a look at the NT forum here:</p>

<p>You will probably want to goto Community College and use your A-Levels like AP credit to whatever universities you want to transfer to. </p>

<p>Are you a woman? If so, most women’s colleges have special programs for women returning to college.
Most public universities will also have a process for non-traditional students, including whether you’d attend full time or part time. </p>
