Has anyone heard of this?

Has anyone heard of a college not accepting general education requirements from another college when you already have a degree?

They are wanting me to MATCH their SPECIFIC Gen ed requirements in addition to taking nursing pre-req's...I've never heard of this.

I'm taking this fall the following

chemistry w/ lab (college level...this will be 2 semesters)

Spanish

Probability and Statistics

Economics

Philosophy

This is a heavy load to me considering I haven't been to school in 12 years and I am extremely concerned about it...I'm planning on getting a tutor for the math and Chem from day one to help me "catch up" on Algebra...I got an A when I took it years ago (in college) so I am hoping just a few refresher problems will help.

Any thoughts?

NONE of the nursing schools in my hometown of Charlotte, NC offer pre-req's in the evening

I know it might be too little too late, but CPCC offers all pre-reqs online.... I know, I took 'em! :lol2:

Maybe you should see what courses you can take online through the school you're talking about going to in VA.

For the school I am applying to they accept different classes from different schools. Like at my school I need Chem 1413, at the other two community colleges they want Chem 1411. Now my school has a 1411 as well, but the 1413 at my school isn't general chem, it's specialized for health science professionals so it has some organic, biochem, the whole works. The other colleges don't have the specialized class so they are ok with taking the general intro course. Doesn't seem fair that I need the harder one, but hey it'll make me better so its all good. It's strange how different schools require different things. There are 4 BSN programs in my area and all of them have different requirements. So applying to them all would mean taking alot of the same class but different class numbers! So I just picked my top choice program and got their guide as to what they would accept and started taking those classes. It sucks but unfortanately its how it works. I of course think it's all about the money but what can you do?!

It's possible, my only concern is by them not allowing a transfer of your credits is just another way to make money off of you HOWEVER, you have to do what you have to do. I wish you all the luck in a successful venture for you and your child.
