Anything to Fix College Degree Progress?
I've been attending college for over 4 years now and so far don't even have a associates degree to show for it.....
I went to a local University, but they were still growing and shuffling people around. I went there for a year under one degree, but was promised it would all transfer over to a new degree program they were opening. Turns out it didn't completely. I attended for an additional 2 years, and my original year eventually became irrelevant to my degree. I constantly listened to the councilors as to what I needed as they offer no "degree progress" tool to track what I needed. Turns out they were not placing me in proper classes all the time.
I got fed up with it, and the raised tuition, and left. I went to a major state university instead, but they won't accept my credits as requirements for my degree. The reason being they can't find a syllabus for it and my old school won't send them it. I was told to try to get it myself and for some reason my old school ignores the request by all means. It's simple translation error as the classes are not labeled properly at my old school. The university said they will gladly accept it if they would get a syllabus.
IF they would send the syllabus, I'd have maybe one or two semester left at the state and will be done. Yet they won't, so I decided to just go back to the old school to get it over with. Yet due to their constant changes I now have an added (up to) 2 years of classes to get a degree there because the program has changed so much (I took classes that were 3 credit hours, and now the same classes are worth 4 credit hours) and they put me in classes that no longer count towards my degree... it's so spread out between so many minor areas ....
I have right now 145 credit hours......My degree should only take 120-128 credit hours. I just want my damn degree and to be done. Is there any particular place I can go to just finish it out within one or two semesters? I feel like the original school I attended is screwing me over, and they do absolutely nothing to help me out. I don't even have an associates degree and don't know if its worth paying transcript fee's just to get that from a community college for now?
Yes, I've talked with them personally. It turns into a circle of "you need to talk to this person" and nobody ever helps. I even went directly to the professors that taught some of my classes and they won't give me the information.
I don't want to take a break because I want my degree and not delay it even more.

Why didn't you just go to the first school in person, ask for a syllabus and your records and be done with it?
Going back to them isn't making anything better and I'm not sure why you would waste money this way.
Stop school so that you can regroup and figure out where you want to go and what you want to do. Get the records and the syllabus from the old school. Talk to other schools.
