Finishing college in 5 months, but personal circumstances force me to change college.

    Hey, I am due to finish college (BSc. in Computer Science) in NCI in 5 months, but some personal circumstances happened and I am forced to change college, specifically I cannot see or meet one person from my course.

    Is there any way I can be transfered from one college mid year to another and continue the rest of 5 months there?

    I would say it is most unlikely.

    Think about it - the college administration system probably does not facilitate students enrolling after a certain date, plus those undertaking a course would have sat a few assessments already, opening the question as to what you would have to do to catch up.

    And finally, are you 100% guaranteed that you will have an exact match for courses in your current institute compared to another?

    The only thing I can think of is that if you start in the 2nd semester after Christmas, that may just be an option.

    I wrote to college asking for transfer to same course as I am now but part time (evening) so technically it's exactly same, same diploma etc..

    Alternatively I will ask for separate exam room. College facilitate that for people with decent reasons so I guess that would work for me.

    Unless there's a restraining order in place, I can't see that being a valid reason for anything.

    Yeah I am planning on asking for different exam room or skipping exams and repeating them. That kind of solves my problem.
