He learned his mistakes. But look at the bright side: He will receive GI bill, and also other benenfits (if he was in the guard) + FA he can grind out the 4 year school in 3 years, with out working.

I'm not worried aboug GPA, but to stay in most programs you have to keep a minimum 2.5 or 3.0 GPA, and it will be a kick in the nuts to raise a 1.4 to a 3.0

I'm thinking that I need alternative means, such as a community college.

I get GI bill of 35,000+ and I also get 4 years free tuition under the Illinois Veteran Grant. School is covered. Plus I'm not 18 and clueless anymore.

Interesting find. But there is a big trade off between AA and BA. AA is more like a minor of BA.

Well, it is also possible to completely test out of a BA or BS. Theoretically, you could go from zero to degree in a month. For a bachelors you must have upper division credits. There are no upper division CLEP exams, but some schools like Ohio University offer credit by exam through correspondence.

No legit 4 year schools will let him graduate with out their GER thou. If he took 14 credits at a 2 year school, there is no way he fulfilled. Also, he need to know if there were semester credits or quarter credits. 1 quarter credit = .66 semester credit

All regionally accredited. Will take up to the full degree program as transfer credits, including general education.

Just don't have your transcript sent from the previous school...

Apparently you have to. I tried asking my school not to transfer the credits from my old school. They said they had to. Dropped my GPA from a 4.0 to a 3.2.

My school doesn't transfer grades, only credits. I'm happy!
