Can you tell me where you found a cheap program? Or what you consider to be cheap?

jillio

Not unless they have sufficient credit hours to achieve junior standing. And they may loose some of their credit hours that do not transfer between institutions.

jasin

I don't know about NY, but in this state, Wa, if you transfer with an aa, aas, whatever, by law are to be granted junior standing.

jillio

I don't live in NY. But yeah, if you transfer in with a degree in place. But then, you have already been awarded a 2 year associte's degree, and are expanding on that to achieve a 4 year Bachelor's degree. But unless you have been conferred a degree, you don't automatically get junior status just by having completed 2 years at another college.

Top 10 priciest colleges ... and the cheapest

jasin

I knew of a guy who had like 2 phds, 5 associate degrees, 5 bachelor degrees, and 2 masters degree and he wasn't even 40.

The guy was like a professional student and kept transferring credits around. He played the system big time.

jillio

Those are tuition costs only, and don't include room and board or books or additional living and traveling expenses. I am assuming that you are posting costs per year?

I can tell you that I personally attend, as a graduate student, a state school, and my tuition alone is $3000 per quarter, for a grand total of 12,000 per year. Books average $400-600 a qyarter. Undergraduate tuition at this same institution is 2,000 per quarter qnd when housing and books are added in a quarter costs approximately 3500.00 for an undergrad. Assuming that they are attending 3 quarters a year, that adds up to 10,500.00 per year. I don't consider that to be inexpensive.

jillio

But he wasn't really transferring credits, but he was gaining advanced admission based on his degreed status. I've seen people do that, too.

jasin

Do you know also if someone transfers with a degree like that will they have to retake similar courses?

Like for example, If I go into the deaf studies certificate program at Rit will I have to take up Asl I - Iv again.

Deaf Studies

jillio

No, you are already degreed. And the ASL courses pretty much transfer across the board. Where people run into problems is transferring Humanities credits, Social Science credits, and Math credits. The curriculum at one school doesn't necessary cover everything that the curriculum at the second school covers.

jasin

You said "program" not the cost of going to college. The cost of the program is the tuition.

jasin

Thats good to know. At least I and other students wont be cheated out of previous asl classes they took.

jasin

Lets not forget also, that the prices I listed are for nine months of college. Thats nearly 1 year of college.

You can't even goto a community college in most places for nine months on those prices. That is very cheap!!!!

shel90

Wow..that's really cheap. I owe practically double on my student loans for going to Gallaudet and Arizona State and still paying for them. GRRR!

Yeah, like I previously stated, Gallaudet is expensive.

shel90

Yea...so was Arizona State University but they were both worth it. I am very happy at my job instead of working at a miserable low paying job.

if you got a good paying job then you are one of the fortunate ones. Jobs are being lost all over.

shel90

Yea, but my job can be lost in the future if deaf children are all implanted and go to oral only programs. Then, i will sit at home and collect SSDI! J/K

Yes, I feel blessed and I dont ever forget that cuz I used to work at miserable jobs where I hated going to work every day. It is not a fun way to live.

I highly doubt all deaf kids are going to be implanted. Not unless the government starts paying for it and deaf culture is eradicated.

ClearSky

I can understand sign language, but I can't understand pure ASL. I'd need practice to get good at signing. There's no one around to practice with. Anyway, I'd like to meet other deaf people. It's doesn't matter whether or not I can talk. I like to meet both worlds.

lipreader4life

just last week when i told them my act scores

lipreader4life

thats gotta be in state tuition

jasin

Yes, those prices are for in-state residents.

VamPyroX

I was a transfer student from a community college to RIT. I never took the ACT, but they let me in anyway. I still had to take an assessment test to see where I placed.

Agreed, but tuition costs are but one part of the cost of attending post-secondary education. That is like saying rent is the only living expense for those not attending college. You must also add the other expenses that are necessary to a student, such as housing, meals, books, supplies, transportation, etc. to get a realistic estimate of what it costs to attend college.
