Open Bar 3.17 - now more glitchy than ever!

Not all credits are transferable to all programs, which is part of why dual enrollment programs are a great idea if you can do them. But that's a different issue from forcing students to pay for classes they don't need in order to qualify for higher level classes.

Freeky, something isn't right in what you're describing. I suggest you talk to an academic advisor.

Bolded is why baby level chemistry and anything below calculus won't count, as I am interpreting it. 

Also, yes I do need to speak to an advisor.  Gonna do that today.

OK... but the fact that certain prereqs don't apply toward your transfer is not relevant to whether you need to take them. That's a different conversation. Either that or I am very confused.

I think both, because I'm confused reading your response which doesn't make any sense in the context of what I thought we were talking about.

Yes, they may not be eligible for transfer, but still required as pre-req's, whether you can test out of them or not. If you can't test out of them, then you HAVE to take them to get to the higher level. Yes, it sucks, it means extra work (I just had to take chemistry to get into textile science), but they're necessary for a reason.

Dear PD, complaints about a situation I have no control over! Feeling sorry for myself and patting myself on the back for doing so well anyway! Blatant ego stroking and posing for the sake of peer group support! That is all.

That's what happens when there aren't little bugs to eat out of each other's fur any more.

Not exactly what the problem was, the problem was I thought you could test out of it without paying for it.


Here's what I learned today:  The CLEP is the test you want to take when you know the material and don't want to go, but still want the credit for having taken it, in which case you have to show up the first day and pay for the class.  The challenge test is the one where you say "Go directly to CHEM 151.  Do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars,"  is completely free, lasts for two years (the lady I talked to thinks), and you do not have to sign up for the class in advance.  I was getting them mixed up a little bit, but it was the challenge one I want.  (I didn't even get the 45% needed to skip the class.  )

Furthermore, classes that are not requisites for the degree you are after do NOT count toward you total credits, although they do count toward your total credits attempted for purposes of financial aid determination.  This is good for if you are trying to get onto financial aid but have really shitty GPA or whatever, and also bad if you have taken too many classes that don't count.

They are making financial aid harder to get now (durr), so if there is anything, any little tiny thing at all, wrong with your paperwork, you will be denied financial aid.  Paying attention to what exactly they ask you, and answering to the fullest extent you can, is preferrable to glossing over rough patches and saying you're all better now.

For students on financial aid probation, when they are approved they must sit down with an advisor and make a course planner.  If the student deviates in any way from the planner, they are automatically denied financial aid, even if the class is paid for by themselves.

There's such thing as a book loan.  Must investigate this further.

I might actually do this to bring some intelligence to the evil that is FB.

If you'll be reading Jane Austen, then no, you won't be.

yeah, your probably right.

Awwww come on y'all she's been on the required reading list for English Lit for how many years?

I'm not saying I'm a fan but dammit everyone should have to suffer thru both Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility...   

I got Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights instead. The Bronte sisters can kiss my ass.

I can't stand Regency era novels. I get bored with them very quickly for some reason.
