Union University ABSN FAll 2013

U.S.A. Tennessee

Hello All,

I was just wandering is there anyone else out there applying for the Fall 2013 Cohort at Union University Germantown Campus.

Tinker: do you have any other classes to transfer in?

Union will accept up to 7 credits for first semester, of the most common being Micro, lifespan and Stats? But again, only 7 - not the entire 10.

I was told they are picky about the stats in that it must be from the Math department. (For example my stats was actually Biz. Stats. So I don't think it will transfer) I haven't heard any specifics about Micro, but am thinking you will not need to retake it.

Though I have all 3 done already - looks like I will be re-taking stats. Oh how I wish I could just retake lifespan of the 3 :o)

I have microbiology and I think lifespan. I was required to take a lifespan course in the educational psychology department while I was getting my elementary education bachelor's. Maybe that will transfer too! I have not taken stats yet.

I just received my grade for the cardio chapters and it was lower than I anticipated, so I feel you. I'm afraid of lab though. I received an email from Wendy and she said that they changed the requirements and that we can transfer as many of the prereqs for that first semester. I can forward you the email.

Yeah, the email reads non-nursing classes, so as long as it's not a nursing class, you should be able to transfer it. I decided to take micro at Union, however.

Thanks so much!!! Could you please send me a private message with what she sent you? I would really appreciate it!

Sent!

If y'all take math stats, find a professor who allows calculators on tests! I got lucky this semester and I'm not the greatest at math.

Hey GeorgiaPeach that is exciting news. Would you mind sending me the email? Thanks.

Okay, check your inbox!

Are any of you applying to for a stafford loan? I applied for it but haven't heard anything yet. Will Union contact me about my stafford loan? I was just wondering. Also Union recommends getting a private loan too, but if I get plenty of stafford I see no point in applying for a private. The interest is higher:( I looked into the Wells Fargo loan, but I'm going to just wait and see how the stafford goes.

Hey Tinker: I am of no help on this financial aid situation. I completely oblivious to how this all works.... haha. I didn't even file a FASFA for my undergrad. Anyway, as of now I have filed my FASFA and sent in the form to Union for Financial Aid and will simply wait for my Award Letter to see what I might need to do next. I have some 401k money I am going to tap into to essentially cover my Tuition, but then there is also Living Expenses. I am hoping to cover my needs with Stafford Loans only and not have to take a private loan as well... BUT I guess I will see what happens in the coming months.

Does anyone know how long it might take to receive the financial aid package from Union? I noticed that my deposit confirmation letter stated they would now work on preparing it. But am guessing it will still be 4-8 weeks. Just curious if anyone knew. Thanks

I don't believe that you're allowed to use the Stafford loan for a 2nd undergraduate degree. If so, there's a limit on how much you can borrow. I already took out the max in Unsubsidized Stafford for my undergraduate in English, which was around 20K. However, don't take my word, give Union's financial aid office a call! I'm still a dependent on my parents and they are not considered to be in financial need, so it is difficult for me to find loans. It's especially difficult when you don't have a cosigner. That's why I'm applying to Wells Fargo.
