During my 4 years in high school I took the following courses from Syracuse and Seton Hall University:
Syracuse University Project Advance
~PAF 101 - Introduction to the Analysis of Public Policy
~PSY 205 - Foundations of Human Behavior
Project Acceleration - Seton Hall University
~ ENGL 1201 - Core English I
~CHIN 2101 - Intermediate Chinese I
~CHIN 2102 - Intermediate Chinese II
I wanted to know how the credits would transfer. I currently don’t plan on taking any history courses as they don’t relate to my desired major. So does anyone know if the credits for my Public Affairs course would be put in as one of my basic courses or could I put it towards another elective, or course?
Check with the RO of the school you matriculated. Not every college credit can be transferred to all schools.
I would be inclined to ask at admissions at whichever university you expect to be attending.
Our experience is that our daughter’s university transcripts list the closest class that the university has with a grade of “pass”. Universities generally have a range of requirements that are needed to graduate. For example I attended a university that required a certain number of humanities classes, calculus, a year of physics, a lab class, a chemistry class, and classes in a certain number of sciences. There were also a total number of credits needed to get a bachelor’s degree. Then there were also requirements specific to each major. Sometimes some number for example of courses in your major have to be taken at the university that you get your degree from, but it is okay for a few of the classes in your major to be brought in (either as a transfer student, or as dual enrollment or AP classes taken while you were in high school).
Whether these classes that you have completed in high school will count towards some or other of the requirements probably depends upon which university you attend and what your major is. However, we haven’t in general had any trouble with getting classes accepted for credit. Also, you have taken these courses at well recognized and respected universities which should help in your case.
Depends on the college you want to transfer the credits to.
Remember that there are distinct attributes for transfer credit (as well as AP credit). You may get any, all, or none of the following:
a. Credit units toward the number of credits to graduate.
b. Subject credit, either for a specific course, or for a course category (e.g. “a social science course”).
c. Placement into a higher level course (for foreign languages, you may have to take a placement test at the new college to determine correct placement).
