Transferring credits from Hillsborough Community College to St. Pete College

I went over to SPC today and spoke with advisor "D" to find out what was going on with my application because I had not heard anything or received any letters in the mail yet. Advisor "D" and the other advisors were surprised when looking at my record in their computer systems because my application was submitted along with CPR card and LPN License. Also the grades from my spring classes had posted. Well to make a long story short.... What they told me had happened and what I saw in their computer system was that when whomever reviews applications went in to review my classes against my application-my spring classes had not posted, so I was put into some kind of tickler file to check my record at a later date to see if the classes had posted. Apparently my classes had been posted in one part of their system when HCC sent the transcript but someone did not update another part of their system that is used to review with the application. The advisors apologized and issued my acceptance letter for the August LPN to RN evening program when I was there and had me sign the letter of intent. FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I knew there was something wrong with my transcripts. That is the reason I went over to talk to them again.

We will probably be in the same class.

The advisors told me the same thing as you that more letters are going out tomorrow. Wonder if that means orientation packets too. I have to wait and see if I have to drive over and pick the orientation packet up too since I am getting everything at the last minute. They stated that the orientation dates are 7/23 @ 3 p.m. and 8/11 (@ 9 a.m. I think).

Thanks for keeping your fingers and toes crossed for me. If I get my orientation packet I will probably go to the 7/23. I will keep you posted.

CONGRATULATIONS!! That is so awesome that you were able to get everything straightened out! That is the exact same thing she told me as far as the dates and times go. I was so relieved when she said 7/23, and that 8/11 was for the late admits and ones who couldn't make the 7/23. I was starting to think ahead that if I missed the orientation while I was away I was going to have to reapply for spring, and I was getting really bummed!

I will definitely be attending the 7/23, no matter what! Hopefully we will be in the same class, it always helps to have someone you "know", even if it is justfrom this blog!

Again, congratulations and now we can both have a wonderful day!

Hi Gina,
just wanted to let you know, my packet arrived today!! Let me know if you got yours.

SPC packet for LPN or RN program?

I was told by advisors on Monday July 6 at SPC HEC that the packets being mailed Tuesday were for all programs not just the LPN to RN program.

Poor mailpersons!!!!!!!! Everyone has been chasing them. I think I am going to buy my mailman a thank you gift. I have been chasing the man for weeks.

I have not been home yet to check my mail but I will post later if I received anything.

Oh thank you for the info. I hate sitting here at work all day wondering if it's sitting in the mailbox. Good luck!

Just to make your search thru the mail easier, it comes in a extra large tan mailing envelope so it sticks out like a sore thumb! It has the orientation info, paperwork for the drug and background screening, another paper that needs to be notarized, and a form to sign verifying that you've checked your degree progress report on MySPC and you are aware of your graduation requirements.

Hope you both have mail whenyou get home!

My packet was in the mail when I got home. They sure do not give a lot of time to get this stuff done. I am going to have to ask for time off to go get the drug screening done. Also, I am going to take the degree audit verfication form and the notarized affidavit to SPC in person so that I can hand deliver it.

thepopes-Hope you got some information today. Let us know.

I don't know if you work weekends too, but some of the Quest Diagnostics locations are open on Saturday.

Hope that helps and you don't have to take time off.

I agree with you on hand delivering the paperwork, if I hadn't received my packet today I was going to go by there tomorrow to make sure they had received my letter of intent. Thank goodness it did, now I just have to work on getting everything taken care of.
