Galen College

Does anyone who is attending Galen know if you are not going to get credits transferred if you have to have the transcripts from your previous college or not I am not sure if I will be able to get mine from my old school since I'm paying back a loan so i was just wondering if I would be able to go or not i did get a unoffical copy though

If you only have unofficial transcripts, I do not think they will give you credit. I am attending Galen and I have a bachelor's degree in an unrelated field, and they have no problem accepting my credits because i sent them official sealed transcripts from my old university. Maybe if you explain your situation, they will make an exception- i'm not sure though. Good luck!

I don't want none of the credits transferred they done told me that they would not accept them because they don't accept Spencerian so i just didn't know if I would need to have a offical transcript

Oh sorry, I misunderstood- If you don't want your credits transferred I doubt you'd need an official transcript. Just call someone in admissions tomorrow morning and they can give you a for sure answer, they're very helpful.

Thanks I am going to call I am just really wanting ot get in I was supposed to start back at Spencerian tomorrow but then was told friday that I would not be able to go until the loan to them was paid off so now I am trying to figure out what to do next to get in to Galen.

Hi jsadler! When I applied to Galen I asked them if they wanted a copy of my U of L transcript and they said no. For the LPN program, they only care to see your high school transcript and your ACT scores if you have them. If you don't have recent ACT scores then you will have to take the CPAT test which is very easy.
They schedule you for that once you turn in your application. They don't look at your college transcripts until you get ready to start the RN program. If you don't want any credits transferred in, then it won't matter.

Also, for future reference, you can get an official transcript from a school even though you are paying student loans. I am still paying student loans from when I attended U of L and JCC, but I had no problem getting official transcripts from them. You just have to pay for them.

Thanks I actually went out there today and turned in my application and scheduled to take the cpat test on the 8th.

Great! I studied from online CPAT practice tests and I was extremely over-prepared! You should be fine!

Good luck to you!

Thanks for letting us know krltdy! Hopefully amazon will be cheaper!
