Transfer credit evaluation appeal

Colleges and Universities A-Z Stony Brook University - SUNY

<p>Now I am wondering why different advisors give different evaluation results.I have several questions:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>For " Critical Thinking" class, one of my freinds got transferred as a DEC.G. course. But my advisor told me this course should be a DEC.B course.Which is correct?</p></li>
<li><p>For Calculus class, I have finished a two-semester sequence calculus class(CalculusI,II), which should be equivalent to SBU 3-semester calculus sequence(MAT 125-127, CalculusA,B,C) or 2-semester calculus sequence(MAT 131-132 Calculus I,II), but my advisor only transferred these two courses to MAT125&126. It means I need to take calculus C in SBU. I have checked my courses' syllabi and descriptions, which are very similar to SBU's Calculus I & II(131-132), so how can I appeal or can I take SBU math proficiency exam to exempt this course(calculus C)?</p></li>
<li><p>I am also wondering what criteria matter in tranfer credit evaluation. Just courses' names or other factors?</p></li>
<li><p>If I take a course's name is same as NCC or SCCC's course name(Assuming this course can be transferred), Is it guaranteed this course(s) can be transferred into SBU??</p></li>
</ol>

<p>1) Bs & Gs can be interchangeable. For example, if you already have ENG 102 at SCCC, and you take another course at SCCC that equates as a B, then we slide it to G. Depends on the course and on your specific situation.</p>

<p>2) Depends on the school. We’ve evaluated Calc courses at every school in New York, and a bunch OOS as well. If the math department says your school’s I-II is equivalent to our A-B, then that’s how it lays out. You can certainly test out of Calc C through the placement exam, though. Check the transfer equivalencies for Suffolk/Nassau/Farmingdale here: <a href=“http://www.stonybrook.edu/transfer[/url]”>http://www.stonybrook.edu/transfer&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>3) Course name/description first, then if we need more info, we’ll ask for a syllabus.</p>

<p>4) Check the transfer page, above.</p>
