=Transferring: The Process And Reasons Why =  By: Sierra Blanchard

 Why do many students find themselves transferring to a different school? Well some students will get to the school they chose for a certain major and realize that they wanted something different so they transfer to a school that offers something else that they are looking for. In some cases money becomes and issue and students decide to transfer because a different school may still offer the major they are looking for plus being cheaper and easier to afford. Maybe its just that they realized that the school they currently attend was either too close or too far away from home and they would like a new location. In this case homesickness or gas prices may become the issue. When students get to college some actually even go through emotional abuse from fellow students and it gets to become too much so they realize that transferring to a different school even if its in the middle of a semester would probably be the best case scenario for them. Transferring to a new school is a process that is very similar to simply applying to a school. The required High School transcript or GED and and offical transcript from the school the student is currently attending. In addition to everything needed for the application process, there are forms required from both schools (after the student had been accepted of course). The student will need to fill out a transfer request form and Find out which credits will actually transfer and make sure that they actually do transfer. For [|NESCom] in particular the following conditions are required when looking to transfer:
