    Should I transfer or withdraw completely?

    I just started a 2yr fast track nursing degree through the Uni of Tasmanias's distance campus here in Sydney. While I am enjoying every second of it; for personal reasons Im finding full time study too much and now Im in a pickle

    I wouldnt even know how to go about finding out if I can transfer to a part time nursing degree at a different university at the end of this semester (part time or deferment isnt an option with the UTAS course Im doing unfortunately).

    My other option is to withdraw completely by next monday (census date) and write it off. Then jump through umpteen hoops to try and get reaccepted there or somewhere else in a few years.

    God I hate that its come to this, I feel like a failure but 3 little kids + a useless husband + household + full time study is just too much. But I dont want to give it up completely, Ive enjoyed using my brain again.

    Any advice or help would be appreciated.

    Hey Hun,
    First of Hugs! It sounds like you need it. . .
    Is there a course convenior you can email? Explain to them your situation and see what they suggest. . .
    I am unsure what you should do sorry... xoxoxo

    i am sure that you have a few possibilities. the first step i would recommend is to contact universities that you would like to study part-time through and explain your situation (that you are accepted into the UTAS course but need to go part-time etc) and see what they can offer for mid-year enrolment. once you are in the system (no matter what uni!) it is easier to transfer etc to other courses.

    If it looks like it might take some time to find a uni to transfer to, then defer your course at UTAS for a semester and use that time to negotiate with a new uni. it can be done! it does take a bit of footwork in that you have to ring around, but it is possible!

    i would recommend AGAINST dropping it altogether as there are possibilities, and it is much easier to do once you have a spot somewhere ITMS.

    goodluck with your decision! you can do it!!
