Course Credits for Transfers

<p>Does anyone know how strict the Wes admin is about credit transfers? I got my initial report and they gave me course credit for all my courses, but did not tell me which classes filled which requirements. I know Wesleyan has a lot of general education requirements, and I'm not sure how long it will take, as a transfer, to fill them. Has anyone been through the process of tranferring credits to meet graduation requirements? Do you guys have any tips?</p>

<p>First of all, those are recommendations, not requirements. They'll probably be pretty flexible about letting classes count for GenEd - if you've taken a science class, it will count towards the 3 NSMs requirement, etc. Wait til orientation, and then arrange an appointment with your dean, and everything will be worked out fairly easily, I'd guess. Don't stress about it too much :)</p>

<p>As for major requirements, which might be more complicated, speak to the department head, also during orientation.</p>

<p>If you're worried now, feel free to shoot them an e-mail to assuage your fears. :D</p>

<p>I have a friend who transferred, and Wesleyan counted some things for GenEd that really probably shouldn't have been... so I don't think they're very strict about it. I think GenEd credit is usually assigned based on the department and title of your class. </p>

<p>And madjoy makes the excellent point that GenEds are not mandatory, so you'll probably be fine anyway.</p>
