The Clarion Page 4 September 29, 1981 Now Is The Time Begin Transfer Procedures AreYou Homesick? by Gay Harshbarger Whether you miss your parents, your boyfriend or girlfriend, or your dog Spot, don’t feel alone. At one time or another during a college career, almost everyone experiences that dread ed feeling known as homsickness. You know it. That empty feel ing in the pit of your stomach, that lump in your throat like when you swallow gum. It may take shape in many different ways though, so beware. When your roommate who is on the track team has just found out that he won’t be able to go home until Christmas, don’t be surpris ed when you ask him how prac tice went and he kicks you in the shin. Just say to yourself, “He must be homesicL” Or what about when you walk in your room and find that your room mate from Florida has just taken scissors and made shorts out of your new pair of Calvin Klein jeans and has gone outside to lie in the sun. Rather than taking those scissors and chasing after her, simply attribute her insanity to homesickness. Aside from going home, there is basically not much that can be done to get over this plague. But you must always remember that homesickness is a touchy subject to those who are experiencing it. It is not advisable to say to a friend in the cafeteria, “This sure isn’t like the food I used to eat at home.” You will probably end up with a face full of mashed potatoes (or is that mushed potatoes?). So the next time you see that distinctive long face with those sad puppy-eyes, have pity. But be careful in your attempts to con sole, or be prepared to face the consequences. If you are a student planning to transfer to another college next fall, now is the time to get started. As a college transfer stu dent and according to the Na tional Association of College Ad missions Counselors (NACAC), you have some important respon sibilities. One is notify all col leges and universities, which have granted you acceptance, whether or not you are going to attend. This notification date should be as soon as possible, or by May 1 at the latest. Furthermore, two of the rights you have are very important to be aware of, such as: the right to by Elliott Dugger have written information from any college you apply to concern ing the policies of requirments and documents you have to have to be admitted; application fees, refunds and housing; ability of your courses to transfer, credit hours, and quality points, and the transferability of courses of grades less than C. Secondly, you have the right, at least one month prior to enrollment of any college lege, to be notified which courses you took will be accepted, the ones that will apply to your degree, and the right to know your accumulative grade point average, quality points, and how many quarters or semesters it will take to get your degree. Robert G. McLendon, Dean of Admissions at Brevard College, submitted these responsibilities and rights along with a few others to the NACAC. They were ap proved and will be of help to the transfer student. Dean McLen don is the chairman of the Southern Association of College Admissions Counselors and can answer any questions about these policies. Also, he can help correct any problem you may have con cerning these rights and respon sibilities during the admissions process.
