Transferring credits

<p>I am considering attending UVa in the fall.
I have taken some courses at Cornell's summer program(Intro Microecon, Intro Macroecon, Calc2, Intro CS) and I was wondering how difficult it would be to transfer those credits to UVa (if possible), and if these sorts of credits can be used towards my major.
Thanks,

The site seems to be a few years out of date.(A few years ago Cornell switched to 4-number course titles) It looks like I should be able to get credit for the econ and math courses, but maybe not for CS.</p>

<p>for anyone who cares.

ECON 1110
ECON 1120
CS 1112
MATH 1910</p>

<p>You can always take a placement test in CS. It won’t get you credit but you can take the next level without having to repeat if you think your skills are strong enough. If you have questions about whether or not your curriculum prepared you for later classes, just PM me, as it is my 7th semester TAing for the intro CS classes here.</p>

<p>From this it seems as though a personal inquiry is needed to find out about transferring/AP credit, is there any other way? I’d just like to know if it makes sense to take my AP tests for any other reason outside of bragging rights(my school has stopped paying for all AP tests). I’m taking Statistics, Calc AB, Physics C, English Lit, Chemistry and planning on attending the Seas. If anyone has any firsthand information it would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>P.S. My local NJ community college is not on that website and I have some credits from a dual-enrollment program that my high school offers through this school. Are these credits useless?</p>

<p>You can learn about SEAS transfer credit here

It is an interesting mix with SEAS - UVA is much more expensive than $82 or however much an AP test costs these days for one class (for instance summer out of state is $800/credit last time I checked), so normally it would be a good financial investment. However, you need to take 15 credits/semester minimum in SEAS so it may not end up saving you too much money in the long run unless you want to graduate early. It might give you some more electives however, which would be worth the test fee in my opinion. You’ll see from that document I linked that things like statistics won’t really count for much other than elective credit since they’re not calculus based, while something like Physics C would definitely be recommended.
You should contact the woman listed above about the CC courses. Usually you will get credits but in useless things, like I got Spanish credit from my CC but it was a 000T class which meant it was 3 credits of my overall 120 needed for graduation, but not applicable towards any requirements. Another class I did manage to successfully transfer as a 200 level history (but I did it with prior approval after matriculation). VA CC’s have more accepted courses than us OOS people (I am from PA).</p>

<p>The professional way to handle the exchange of information is to put it in a link. It probably will not be appreciated by the staff/faculty/professors here to have their direct lines posted on CC. The UVa website is one thing, but a public forum is a whole other matter. I know you meant well.</p>
