Hi, again,

Not to be misleading since I thought initially you are an incoming freshmen. Since you are a transfer student accepted from a regionally accredited (I assume) CC, you should not have to provide supporting documentation for all the courses taken. Here is the link from the NYU CAS bulletin (by the way, to get transfer credit into NYU, you have to get a minimum grade of “C,” not “B,” like I had thought):

"TRANSFER APPLICANTS

A student may be admitted by transfer from another college in September, January, or May. (See “The Admission Process,” above.) Credit will be granted for most collegiate work completed with a grade of C or better within the last 10 years that satisfies degree requirements and that falls within the residency requirement, with the exception of certain courses of a vocational nature or courses not consistent with the educational objectives of the College. Within these provisions, applicants from regionally accredited colleges are eligible for admission."

Just focus on the English Composition I course content documentation if you want to get out of taking Expository Writing (a course generally known for the difficult grading curve).
You should wait on NYU to get back to you on the other classes taken at ACCC, unless there are other courses which you think are important for you to get transfer credit from NYU (and thus document well).
