Credits not transferring

<p>Hey Everyone!
I finally got into Rutgers New Brunswick. I was at Rutgers Newark for 3 semesters and UDEL for 1 semester. I got accepted right after they found out I transferred to Delaware after denying me twice from rutgers newark.</p>

<p>Well anyway I got back my college credits evaluation and they denied my Spanish 101 and 102 credits because they said I took spanish in High school. When I was at Rutgers Newark they told me to take these classes because I was minoring in spanish. Rutgers New Brunswick denied me because i took 4 years in high school. </p>

<p>What are my options? Would I be able to fight for these credits because they covered stuff not discussed in high school or would it be a waste of time fighting for 6 credits B+ and an A</p>

<p>Schools have their own policies regarding what does/does not transfer. If Rutgers has a policy of not awarding credit toward graduation requirements for these classes if a student took 4 years in high school, it will be tough to get them to okay them. You might be able to get them to agree to transferring the credits as general distribution requirements that don't count toward your Spanish major. You could try. I am aware of several schools that make students take math classes that will NOT count as credits toward their degree ... they need them in order to take the credits that WILL count toward their degree. It's not unusual to take classes & not have them count ... so I imagine schools are that much less sympathetic to transfer classes. Sorry. But do try! :)</p>

<p>I think it is certainly worth discussing with them, in a respectful manner of course ;).</p>

<p>I don't know the contents of Spanish 101/102 at Rutgers Newark. I do know that my S had several years of hs/ms Spanish (to AP level) and still "started over" at his transfer school (extremely selective school) because even the 100 level courses were very fast-paced. That school allows credit even if you had lots of hs Spanish. It wasn't his major/minor (or even close), though.</p>

<p>kelsmom's suggestion is also a good one. I do know that sometimes credits transfer, but the courses won't be allowed for meeting certain distribution or prereq requirements.</p>
