How can I afford to go back to college?
One of your primary considerations when thinking about returning to college and earning your degree or certificate is how to pay for it all. Check with your prospective college's Financial Aid Office to find out what types of aid, grants, loans and scholarships might be available for students in your situation - many provide scholarships for nontraditional learners. Also check with your employer to see if they offer tuition assistance or tuition reimbursement.
Will my previously earned credits and coursework transfer?
That depends on the degree program and institution you choose. Registering a login and adding your existing and expected coursework is the best way to track how your coursework will transfer based on destination schools. You can also save any supporting documents to easily share with an advisor or counselor.
