<p>Fall of 2013 I went to the University of Wyoming. I hated it and had some family problems go on. I decided to transfer back home to a community college in Colorado, to give me time to figure out what I really wanted. I decided to go to a junior college in California that helps transfer students into 4 year universities. I’m playing soccer there and I love it so far. Today I was going through my transcripts and looking at what I needed to transfer. First I need to raise my GPA. Second I need to get all my gen ed classes done. So here is where I am confused. California has a different type of system they use and I’m already having to take math and english again. Since I am already taking classes over is there a way to void my freshman year? It wasn’t my brightest moment…Has anybody been through this before?</p>
<p>This is a hot mess. Here’s what i suggest. Go to your counseling office and have a sit down. Be clear what your transfer objectives are and the counselor will tell you what to do. They do that for a living, dozens of times a day, everyday. A community college counselor is either gonna help someone get a associates or get a transfer to a 4 year college that’s all they do. THey’ll tell you what classes you need, the order in which to take them, the reqs to transfer to any particular university in any particular major. </p>
<p>You need to have a transfer evaluation done by your community college. Students who have completed coursework outside of their current community college district need an official transfer evaluation of your courses and how they apply to your current CC (as well as CSU GE’s if you plan to transfer to a CSU or IGETC if you plan to transfer to a UC). Use the search bar on your local CC’s website to start the steps to have an official transfer evaluation completed. And once your transfer evaluation is completed you will receive credit for the classes your community college approves. </p>
<p>You should also schedule an appointment to meet with an adviser for overall advice on classes, goals, and setting up a student education plan (SEP), a list of classes you plan to take for the next two semesters or so. You should see an adviser each semester to update your SEP. </p>
<p>It’s not all a mess and will get straightened out. </p>
