<p>How do we find out which courses are "equivalent" to a course at Cornell CALS if I'm a transfer student? I know that we can send in an e-mail with the service they have, but do I have to send an e-mail out for EACH and EVERY course I see fit?</p>
<p>Please go here:
CALS</a> Admissions: Transfer Agreements</p>
<p>Look at it, and you can see that for some of the colleges, under the name, they have a link to a page with courses listed on it that meet the reqs. But for other colleges, including the one I will be going to, there's nothing! Those links are very helpful for other colleges, because they list every course there that we can take in order to meet reqs, it's nice and organized.</p>
<p>I tried to call, and they simply told me to just send in the e-mail, but I shouldn't be sending in too many emails for courses, just e-mails for courses I think probably meet their reqs. But still, that's ALOT of e-mails!</p>
<p>Why isn't there a link under some colleges, and there is one under others? What do I do? I have to schedule an appointment soon with the college I'm going to so that I can pick my courses out, but this page doesn't even have a link under the college I will be going to!</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Yes…you must send the e-mails. They prefer to do it this way. By using the e-mail link, you’ll also have a record of their decision.</p>
<p>Any idea why we don’t have to send in e-mails for some colleges and do for others? For some colleges, they have a link to click with courses that are equivalent and we can take, but for others they don’t, why is that?</p>
<p>They probably haven’t examined the course offerings to determine what’s appropriate and what isn’t.</p>
<p>Oh ok, because I think that they would get VERY annoyed if I sent in all of those e-mails about the courses…so far I have sent two of them.</p>
<p>I just really don’t want to mess up at all with these courses and take the wrong one, and find out that I’m not eligible to transfer because of this…So I just sent in an e-mail about this too, and provided them with a link to the course-listings page and have asked them to do the same thing they did for other colleges, and provide a link to a page that lists “equivalent” courses. Do you think they will follow through on it and do it?</p>
<p>I need to start planning my courses and I don’t know what to do =/</p>
<p>They might do it…but it could be a while. It’s pretty busy in the registrar’s office…I’m sure they’ll get around to it eventually. It’s pretty new…I didn’t have that luxury when I was applying for transfer.</p>
<p>Oh man what should I do, I need to know very soon because I am going to be scheduling an appointment with an advisor so I can choose my courses, but I want to choose the rights ones!</p>
<p>Everytime I try and ask something, they always direct me to using that form online to fill out for my courses, but I just think that I will be writing like 50 emails which will annoy them like crazy. If I ask on the phone, they direct me to there again… What should I do?</p>
<p>just stick with the basics…general bio, calc or stats, gen chem, freshman english.</p>
<p>what college are you attending? maybe I can help you out…</p>
<p>Ok I pm’ed you, and yeah, I was going to stick to the basics, but then I thought: What if an intro class at a SUNY lacks and is very easy compared to one at Cornell? So then I realized that an intro class at Cornell can basically translate into a level 200 or so class at a SUNY, kind of hard to explain but I hope you understand.</p>
<p>Like, an intro class at a SUNY might not cover ENOUGh information, so Cornell will require us to take a higher level class which is impossible during freshman year because of pre-reqs and stuff.</p>
