FAQS

If you already know what you want to study you’re halfway there. Now you just need to find the right school.

Here is a selection of questions people often ask.

How can I find the program or school that suits my needs?

All you need to do is search through the list of programs or schools, selecting those that that match your certification and career goals. Simply select the subjects that interest you and search through the directory of schools and colleges to find the perfect match.

There are three main ways to search for the school or college of your choice: by name of school, according to the topic of interest and by the type of degree.

 

How do I find school or course catalogues for the school I'm interested in?

All you need to do is choose your ideal school or college and then contact the admissions representative, who will send you a catalogue directly.

 

Do the schools and colleges have the same enrolment application deadlines?

Fortunately, each school and college has a different enrolment deadline, and many institutions offer rolling admission all the way through the academic year. Most school and colleges allow students to commence new courses every couple of months, meaning that you can choose the time that best suits you.

All you need to do is decide on your preferred school or college and they will get in touch with you directly, providing you with direction on how to enrol in a suitable course. The school will also help you to manage the entire enrolment process.

 

What admission requirements do programs and schools usually have?

Each school has different admission requirements. However, here are some general rules of thumb:

A GED or high school diploma for associate or bachelor degree programs
A bachelor degree for master degree programs
A master degree for doctoral and PhD programs

 

How can I obtain my military service college credits?

You can find out more about how to obtain credit for any military service you have completed at the website belonging to the American Council on Education Military Programs; Military.com. This web site gives advice to military personnel regarding how to instigate the process of accreditation by applying for a service transcript.

 

Is it possible to obtain a copy of my transcript from my college or high school?

Any academic records you may need, including transcripts, must be acquired from the school or college that you attended. It is likely that this institution will require a written request with the following details: your contact details and year of graduation. Many schools now have order forms for transcripts on their websites, which makes applying easier.

 

Is it possible to transfer course credits to the school of my choice?

The only person who can transfer is the admissions representative from the educational institution that you are applying to. Make sure you find out the number of your credits that will be accepted before paying for the course.

Before you enrol in any course it is important to check carefully to ensure that the college or school is fully accredited by an authorized accrediting agency. This is because accredited schools will only accept transferred credits from other accredited schools. If the school you originally attended was not accredited, you probably won’t be able to transfer any credits you may have earned.

A list of officially accredited school and colleges can be found on the website belonging to The Council for Higher Education Accreditation, along with a record of all authorized accrediting agencies. Only apply to your chosen school or college if it appears on that list.

 

Where can I find out more about financial aid and student loans?

This is relatively simple as most schools are happy to offer assistance with finding financial aid. Simply choose your ideal school or college and an admissions representative will contact you directly. Make sure you inquire as to the level of help the school can offer you in finding and obtaining financial aid.

 

Where can I take GED prep classes and the GED test?

The official accredited GED Test is not available online and cannot be taken online or through a correspondence course. Any website offering the chance of taking the GED Test online is bogus.
