Bad news, Everybody!

[NAP]

I received a response to my letter to the president through advising.

The college is planning to stop using GREs for credit.

I was told that if I re-enroll before July 1, 2010 I will be able to take the GREs for credit and avoid the new capstone requirement.

For those of you in the application/enrollment process, I hope you will be offered this opportunity, too. Please check with EC.

For those of you who need to apply and enroll, I do not know if 6 weeks is long enough to get all of the paperwork for the transcripts done. Please contact EC. They may be able to help you with this.

(WARNING – Be extremely careful with this thought I am sharing. – If you are 100% positive that you want to use a GRE for credit at EC, I wonder if you could apply and enroll now without sending in your transcripts to be evaluated, in order to get your academic policy date set before July 1st. Make sure that this would not forfeit those credits and that the transcripts can be sent later to add to your recorded credits for your degree. It would be a risk to have unevaluated credits and a big commitment of $1000. You would also have to be very carful not to make any decisions (like changing majors?) later that would cause a change to your academic policy date.)

Since the option of using GREs for credit is still available to some degree, I wonder what Charter Oak’s policy is going to be.
