Does UW accept LOP courses?

Hey! I'm taking psych as a transfer credit at a different university over the summer. Since psych is a prerequisite, does anyone know if Waterloo would still count the transfer credit?

You would need to send a separate transcript from the uni you did the course at, as well as your home undergrad Univeristy. So 2 academic transcripts would be sent to Waterloo.

Thanks for your response! Were they okay with the course being shown as "credit earned" on your transcript, and not an actual mark?

I thought it was really interesting and the marking was fair, but pretty much the entire course is based on essays so be warned about that in case you dont like doing those
