Check to see if college or university you've attended offers an online option. Many colleges allow for a certain percentage of credits to be earned online. Completing your degree requirement at the school you've attended will make transferring, and possibly losing, credits to a new school unnecessary.
If planning to enroll at a different institution, look online for schools that offer the degree program that you are interested in pursuing. Check that the schools are accredited. Check the requirements for graduation in the field of your choice.
Contact the schools' admissions offices at the schools that interest you to find out how many of your credits will transfer. One of the schools may accept more credits, which will save time and money.
Apply for one or two programs that most closely match your career goals.
Choose the school that you will finish your degree program with and begin taking classes. Most online schools require students to complete a set number of credits per year. Be sure to follow the guidelines for your degree program when you enroll in your classes.
