<p>I just transferred to Stony Brook University and I was wondering If there are any good schools that are lenient in accepting transfer credits. Stony brook won't accept any of my math classes above their MAT 303 level for credit which includes 7 classes that I took at my previous institution. They found equivalent courses but wont give credit because it is above their MAT 303. This seems unjust and I was just wondering how commonplace it is for schools to reject credit for courses above a certain level?</p>
<p>They also won't give me credit for Linear Algebra because there is one section at the end of the class that Stony Brook teaches that my previous institution did not. I hardly think that's a good enough reason to warrant my paying another grand and spending 6 months retaking a class I already received an A in because of one lesson.</p>
<p>Is there a way to petition the decision or would it be better for me to retake the course here and possibly receive an easy A?</p>
