I was unhappy with the number courses apparently overlooked in my transcript evaluation for an RN-to_BSN program. One area was statistics - while I did not have stat as an undergrad, I actually took 3 graduate stat courses as part of earning my MBA. The school I've applied to somewhat reluctantly agreed to accept one of these grad courses as the equivalent of their Intro to Stat course but I got this warning:
. . . once we bring one of these courses in as a undergraduate course you will not be able to use it as a graduate course in the future. It permanently becomes an undergraduate course in our system . . .
I sent a note back stating that I was unsure as to what that meant and asking for clarification. The response was
Once it is used as an undergraduate course it can not be used as a graduate course.
So I'm still not sure what this means. It appears to be saying that if I go on to grad school at this particular college (say their MSN program) and that program has a statistics requirement, that I would have to take that course, since I "used up" a graduate statistics course to satisfy an undergrad requirement.
Thoughts? Anyone else experience this?

A question about the evaluation process.
