Where will the extra credits go?

[cookderosa]

I just talked with my advisor at EC today about banking my extra credits. She advised against it. She said it works great for military personnel but if you want to use them towards a degree anywhere at anytime you will still need the official transcript from the original source of the credit. She said the only thing that will show up on my final transcript is the credits used towards my degree. I can have the extra credits listed, but if they weren't from them they will just have a blurb very similar to what you see on your acedemic summary from them. On my summary it has my extra credits listed below all the requirements I have met and says you also have these credits that don't apply to your degree etc. I was glad I asked, because I wanted them all consolidated so if I needed copies in the future I only had to get one and my employer or graduate school would have everything from one request. Just keep track of what credits are where and get them when you need them. I hope this helps!

Yes- this is true. If you use them -and "use" means include in a transcript that resulted in a degree, not actually "used" toward your degree- they are locked forever. You will never be able to pull them out and get a second degree....but since you are finishing your bachelor's degree- you are done- you could move onward and upward.
The process of taking credits off, I believe, is usually simple- you have to ask, maybe in writing, but they should do this for you if you want.
Rather than a second degree- if you really want something, do a double major- you graduate with one fee, not 2- and your transcript reads 2 degrees anyway.
