I am a transient student, do I need to defer my start date at my university?
I completed the transient student application and was cleared by both my home and host institution to complete summer classes at my host college. This was a plan advised by my counselor. However, I received an email from admissions stating I am not signed up for classes for my home institution (my university), so I let them know that I will be completing my summer term at the host college. I think it’s important to know I was suppose to start during the summer at this university as a transfer, but my uni counselor insisted to keep up classes at my old college for a longer summer term — to ease my science courseload (2 month summer vs 3 month summer at my college).
Anyways, I explained it to the admissions and they said I would need to defer my application. Is this necessary? My counselor did not mention this and it seems unnecessary since these credits will be sent to the uni.
Thank you and I appreciate any advice.
