You’d have to contact them to find out. I don’t think they can do a transfer evaluation until they get your official transcript though.
You owe $13,000 so you need to pay that amount. There is really no question here.
Holding transcripts is really the only means that colleges have of getting the money that is owed them. So I think you can assume that your transcripts are going nowhere until they get their money. Not just a payment plan, though that’s a start. They’re going to want the account to be paid in full before they release your transcript.
I think @thumper1 hit the nail on the head: take a year off if you have to, pay off the debt, save some money to prevent this from happening again and then worry about college.
My question is this-- and I don’t need the answer, but I think you need to think about it–: If you still owe $13000 for the credits you have taken this far, where do you plan to get the money to continue your education?
And if you’ve attended college for two years, you are NOT a freshman. You’re a transfer student. Wishing it were otherwise doesn’t change the basic definition of terms.
The $13k is owed directly to the school. I think OP also has a $6500 federal student loan and another $4k loan because her parents were denied a PLUS loan last year. I’m not clear about her first college – but there may be a $5500 student loan from there too. I don’t know if they used PLUS for that school. So she may have an additional ~$11-16k of debt that will have to start being repaid in Nov. Would that all be federal with a minimum $50/month payment?
If she has $16,000 in debt…it’s likely her payments will be closer to $150 a month unless she does income based repayment…and her income would be such that a lower payment would be required.
Ouch.
And of course, there’s still the question of how to pay for all the classes she wants to take over the next few years.
Once her debt is paid…and RMU releases her transcripts…she can find an affordable option to continue and finish her degree. BUT she is going to need to be aware of the costs…and exactly what she is getting for those costs.
@kenadeek: do you know about how to set up income-based repayment for your federal loans?
You won’t be allowed to attend any college (RMU or another one) till the $13,000 are paid. Did your parents tell you they’d paid, but hadn’t? Did you have a fallout?
Note that Early Childhood degrees DO NOT lead to Elementary School certification. You need to have a degree with English plus some math, science, and social science (+ psychology and specialized education courses which can be at the Bachelor’s or Master’s level.)
WVU emailed me back about the requrements and said I need a minimum GPA of 2.5 in all course work my freshmen year I only got a 2.0 but second year I got 3.58 and 3.19 for first and second semester plus I have three college classes from HS that were 3.20 GPA. Will my freshmen year make me not get in, even though I raised my grade so high? I am talking to my parents about paying off the balance at RMU. And if I graduate with this program from WVU I am getting my Masters in elementary ed. WVU online is only $8,000 a year and I will be online plus I will have almost all that covered in FAFSA it’s more affordable.
The college I went to my freshmen year was Wheeling Jesuit which is still $40,000 a year plus they dropped their teaching program this year so I can no go back there to answer your questuon
My guess: Your better GPA your second year will be helpful in getting you in to schools going forward, and will probably count and get you over the 2.5 requirement (but we can’t promise anything, of course). Your high school grades probably won’t matter at all at this point. However, as others have said, all of this is moot until you manage to pay off your debt and get your transcripts released.
As long as Wheeling is still operational, you can get answers to your questions and a copy of your transcript.
I have my transcripts from WJU but need them from RMU
One of the other requiremnts for WVU 4 years post high school what does that exactly mean?
They are looking for older students, not students fresh out of high school.
Would I qualify ? I am 2 years out of high school
Your cumulative GPA is 2.69 so you’re good for WVU but if they want four years out of college and you’re two years, it sounds line you wouldn’t qualify. Email them.
Sure you can get your masters…but FIRST you need to get your BACHELORS.
It means…you have to have been out of high school for four years.
