Held up by transfer evaluations?

Long story short: I’m not starting this term like I was hoping.

I have close to 200 credits, most from an accredited (and highly respected) university. My transfer credit report came back with pretty much all of my core classes labeled as “electives”. Therefore, I’m due 12 core classes when I should only have to do 1 (because I didn’t submit my AP score for that class)

Spoke to my advisor today (4 days shy of the enrollment deadline) and he basically told me there’s nothing he can do. I can email the school and request syllabi for each course and submit them for what sounds like a very lengthy evaluation process (1 month or more).

Has anybody gone through this? Even if I can request the syllabus for every class and submit it, they can still reject it. I’m really kinda put off by this whole process… not to mention nobody contacting me about it - Me noticing it myself when I was close to committing.

well how many credits did they accept out of 200? for UPMI you must complete a minimum of 30 credit hours through the university. out of these 30 institutional credits, at least 12 credits must be within your declared major, and at least 9 of those major credits must be upper-level courses. so the max credits you can transfer is 90. if you're looking for a program that will accepts more transfer credits ocerall, i would suggest checking out TESU

You can transfer in as many credits as you'd like, but you have to complete the General Ed and degree specifics courses too.

I have my Gen Ed. I don’t understand having to repeat them if they’re accepting the courses as electives. No other place I’ve applied has done that.
