<p>If you have approved transfer credit from AP's or community college, does that count towards the distribution?</p>
<p>AP credits can’t count towards distribution. I believe you’d have to get approval from an adviser for transfer credits from a community college to count towards distribution.</p>
<p>For community college courses, is the approval the same thing as the course equivalence they award you? For example if I take a PSYC class at community college and it is equivalent to PSYC 111…does that mean I get distribution for it or is there another process to obtain that?</p>
<p>I’ve heard that if you get a good advisor you’ll be able to transfer lots of CC creds. They are pretty relaxed about it.</p>
<p>I think even if something is considered equivalent to a Michigan class like psych 111, you’d still need to tell somebody that you want to count it for distribution. It’s better to get that stuff figured out now as opposed to at your senior audit, when you only have one semester left.</p>
<p>But yeah, lots of the advisers are pretty easy going with this kind of thing. I’m a math major, so I can’t count any classes taken in the math department for MSA. However, one of my classes from Oakland University I did at a summer program in high school happened to transfer to the Operations Management department in the business school as “departmental credit”, and I was able to use that for MSA.</p>
