I'm trying to do what you did to "appeal" the fourth!!! So thank you for your response - it gives me hope!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-successfully-appealed-non-transferred-courses#post-2047347 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 11:56:13 +0000 Mrs.Waffles 2047347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsLilybugg: LOL. :silly: Just realized you have updated your post. Glad to see you got credit for your courses. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-successfully-appealed-non-transferred-courses#post-2047342 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 11:53:04 +0000 Mrs.Waffles 2047342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsLilybugg: This happened to me. I took a lower division class at a community college and was assured by a university counselor that it would transfer over. So when I transferred they didn't want to give me credit for it. So I took it to the dean I explained my situation and showed him the course description in the community college's catalog and told him that it meets the same criteria as the course they wanted me to take in the University. I got my credit for my course. So I would definitely appeal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-successfully-appealed-non-transferred-courses#post-2047304 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 11:33:10 +0000 MrsLilybugg 2047304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: Yes ! I am so excited! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-successfully-appealed-non-transferred-courses#post-2047125 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 10:13:14 +0000 blackbird 2047125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's great!!! 12 credits is a lot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-successfully-appealed-non-transferred-courses#post-2047061 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 09:48:46 +0000 MrsLilybugg 2047061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>UPDATE:<br /> They accepted three of the four classes for a total of 12 credits! At my current rate (scholarship covers two courses per semester, Fall and Spring), that saves me an entire year!</p> <p>I'm appealing the fourth and submitted the petition. They considered it a double:<br /> I took Child and ADOLESCENT Psych at my first school. And then at my current school, I took INFANT and Child Pscyh. So they are counting it as the same. However, my current school has an "Adolescent" Psych course. It's not my major so I'm hoping they re-evaluate and transfer it as "Adolescent". Eek. Maybe? Gah.</p> <p>@marionberry: do you mind if I wall you the course descriptions so you can tell me what you think my chances are?? I hate this waiting game ha ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-successfully-appealed-non-transferred-courses#post-2014308 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 19:22:19 +0000 MrsLilybugg 2014308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrschickpea: wow nice!!! I don't want to EGet my hopes up too high because i feel like I waited too long but we shall see! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-successfully-appealed-non-transferred-courses#post-2014307 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 19:21:40 +0000 MrsLilybugg 2014307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@marionberry: I sent you a wall message!

It's all I had to do to get a few freshman classes credited from another out of state university! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-successfully-appealed-non-transferred-courses#post-2013071 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 00:13:12 +0000 MrsLilybugg 2013071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@marionberry: this was super helpful! Thank you! I'm going to find course descriptions from my former university and start from there. That's a good point- maybe that can even add it to "general requirements"! Crossing fingers<br /> @sarac: thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-successfully-appealed-non-transferred-courses#post-2013013 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 22:59:00 +0000 sarac 2013013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it's some thing science based, you may be able to test out of it as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-successfully-appealed-non-transferred-courses#post-2012978 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 22:34:29 +0000 marionberry 2012978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to work in admissions doing just this. What we typically did is look at your previous syllabus and then try to find any class we offered that was comparable so that we could transfer the credits at the time you applied. Often times I had to do research on the class at the previous institution to know how to place it. I'd recommend contacting your admissions department and bringing along a course description from your previous classes that haven't been counted and point out any classes at your current institution that you think are comparable. If they don't have something comparable, ask if you can be given generic credits for those classes they can't match up. We had a code that was basically a 100 level art class (for example) that didn't truly specify a class but would give you credit for that level of course anyway. Best of luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-successfully-appealed-non-transferred-courses#post-2012653 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 19:11:07 +0000 MrsLilybugg 2012653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone! I probably waited too long - these are courses that didn't transfer when I first started school right outta high school. There's a long gap between Undergrad Part One and years later, Undergrad Part Two. But it's true - I won't know unless I at least try! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-successfully-appealed-non-transferred-courses#post-2012636 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 18:58:58 +0000 gingerbebe 2012636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would submit the course syllabus and course description from the classes you want to transfer, and if possible, get the syllabus and course description for the class at the new school that you are trying to get credit for so that its easy to compare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-successfully-appealed-non-transferred-courses#post-2012627 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 18:46:39 +0000 mrskc 2012627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This happened with a few of my classes. I just had to fill out a form and they all were accepted. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-successfully-appealed-non-transferred-courses#post-2012622 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 18:41:40 +0000 Espion 2012622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never had to, but I would appeal them anyway. They cannot do anything for you if they don't know. I would probably have a written description of each class plus your transcript and go talk to them in person. They might be able to find something similar that would make sense to apply a similar credit to. I would assume the admissions department would be able to tell you with whom to talk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-successfully-appealed-non-transferred-courses#post-2012584 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 18:08:30 +0000 MrsLilybugg 2012584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just what the title says. If you have succeeded in appealing (with the dean??) a decision not to transfer undergrad course credits from a different university, how did you do it? Did you appeal right away?</p> <p>If you are in undergrad university admissions (or whatever the appropriate department is!): any advice on how to appeal? </p>
