Little Confused Here, Any Help Is Appreciated

So I've just received my transfer credit report summary and all classes I expected were transferred successfully. According to that and the RN-BSN flyer they have the only prerequisite courses I would have to complete are the two Government classes and the Algebra class, 9 hours total. However, when I sign into MyMav and look under the other Other Academic tab, going to Degree Progress Report, it brings me to a confusing screen. This screen shows the University Core Curriculum for 2011-Present needing 44.00 credits, 35.00 which I have completed, 9.00 remaining, this is expected. A few pages later it has another section termed Nursing Intended Academic Partnership (2008-Present) needing 42.00 credits, 20.00 of which I have completed, 22.00 remaining, this is not what I expected. For the 2008-Present portion I am missing BIOL 2460, CHEM 1451,NURS 3365 and 3366, NURS 2240 or 1335, and PSYCH 3310, on top of the 9.00 hours I was expecting to have to take. The only thing I can figure is that if you enrolled prior to 2011 you would have to take these classes, but if you enrolled post-2011 you would only have to take the classes in the 2011-Present area. I know this is a little confusing, but if anyone has any ideas or experience with this I would appreciate any help your willing to give.

I remember going through the same confusion. Do not go by what MyMav says. I'm not sure if you have received your course map yet by your post, but this is what you should rely on for the classes that are needed. This is sent to you by the Nursing Dept. after you are accepted into the program and is much more accurate than MyMav. I remember my transfer credit report had me taking all the pre-reqs, but when I got my course map I only had to take 4. So ... the point is, wait for that course map and then contact your academic advisor if you still feel there are errors. Hope this helped.

Thank you CoCStudentNurse, I have not received the course map yet, but I realized I was probably making a mountain out of a molehill. It was just such a shock to see that MyMav had me needing an extra 22 credit hours in addition to the nursing courses. The only issue I have now is that they do not accept repeat courses. For example, I initially took A&P I and made a C, then repeated it and made a B. On MyMav it says "Course Repeat; Not In GPA." While this isn't great news, it's not a deal breaker either. Anybody else have this happen with them where UTA did not accepted repeated classes with improved grades?

How many pre-req courses did you repeat? I know they only allow you to repeat 4 pre-req courses that you have made a C in.

I would only need to use one of my repeated courses. I initially made a "C" in A&P I, and earned a "B" the second time I took it. Did the school allow you to use the higher grade for repeated classes?
