One LOR from a Duke professor who happened to be my mentor for the last couple years.

My transfer credit report is awesome!!! Only one seminar that doesn’t transfer!!

Mine is a bit disappointing but is about what I expected. My English and Accounting classes don’t transfer fully.

I got credit for English 105 which is super weird because it didn’t transfer on the database. @phoenix23

I am receiving credit for my English composition courses and foreign languages. That shouldn’t be so, right?

I’m at an individualized study program with a lot of strange classes so only 40/64 credits transferred and only one course (other than my high school Latin course, which transferred for some reason) transferred as a UNC course. I’m hoping there’s an appeal process for that.

You get credit for the foreign language but you need to take a placement test to continue @starkricochet

Did you get latn 999? @yoshimax I don’t know what it means

@isuncforme493 Yeah, I did. I looked online and it’s a high school Latin class. I took Latin in high school so that makes sense I guess? I don’t know why it would be on the transfer credit report though.

I made an FB group because I’m that nerd

it’s UNC Chapel Hill Transfers 2017 if any of y’all want to join it

They accepted all my units (:, it seems I would be set for my path to the Business School if I decide to come here.

I guess they really did care about the disciplinary violation from 10th grade that they contacted me about!

@isuncforme493 …where did you find your transfer credit report?

In my email @Chrismyke

You get an email. I just got mine. With the language, if I take all three language levels do I still have to take a placement test? I plan to take the third over the summer before transferring.

I can’t see my transfer credit report - how are you all finding which credits transfer?

@Chrismyke: they will send you email about credit evaluation

Can we register for classes yet?
