<p>I've just received my TCR but all my courses transfered as " OTHER COURSES IN YOUR ACADEMIC ACCOUNT:"... no GE appears in blue (on my STARS report) ... I'm an international student, so idk if that changes the way my coursework is seen... anyone in the same situation? </p>
<p>also, do you know if during orientation we get some advice about this?</p>
<p>This means that none of your courses replaced classes you are required to take. They show up as “unit credit” instead. That means you are beginning college with X units completed instead of zero. It can waive elective requirements and also will allow you to register earlier than your friends.</p>
<p>Only a handful of AP courses actually waive classes at USC.</p>
<p>ohh… thanks =)
so technically I’ll be a freshman with sophomore title?</p>
<p>Depends on how many credits you have as to what standing you have. I believe you need at least 30 semester credits to be given sophomore standing (which can help a bit in registration) and 60 or more to be given JR standing. If you’ve never attended a college before, you would still be a freshman. Many engineering students who enter with a lot of AP & other credits can be JR standing but still an entering freshman. 60 is the most credits they will give entering freshmen.</p>
