waiving out of econ?

<p>I will be a new freshmen at USC this coming fall. I have graduated from high school, and I am currently taking macroecon and microecon at a community college. </p>

<p>I learned from the USC Articulation Agreement website (<a href="https://camel2.usc.edu/articagrmt/artic.aspx%5B/url%5D"&gt;https://camel2.usc.edu/articagrmt/artic.aspx&lt;/a&gt;) that these courses can "receive equivalence" (if taken after high school graduaton) to ECON 205 and ECON 203. </p>

<p>What exactly does this mean? Will the grades I earn in the econ courses this summer be factored into my USC GPA, or will they simply just waive me out of ECON 205 and ECON 205 so I will not have to take these courses at USC? I'm majoring in business btw. </p>

<p>Can anyone clear this up for me? Thanks :)</p>

<p>your community college gpa is only incorporated into your USC gpa if it is lower than your USC gpa.</p>

<p>send them a course transfer form... u should find the info in your MY USC account.</p>

<p>College micro and macro econ will waive USC's BAUD 305 (i think), but i don't think the grades transfer.</p>

<p>Those econ classes will get you out of econ 203/205, not buad 305 (that's the accounting course for transfers).</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure that there's some sort of loophole preventing your from transferring in credits taken between graduation and the start of college. I think you might have to wait until text summer to take courses that will transfer, or have taken while you were still in high school. But then again, I could just be imagining this. Check w/the articulation office.</p>

<p>If you take a class during HS, it won't count (except for credits) but if you take it after graduating HS, it will transfer over.
Case in point: A friend and I took the exact same class. I took it the summer before senior year, and she took it the summer after. When our transfer credit report came, she was waived out of category 5 GE whereas I wasn't. </p>

<p>If you take courses after taking classes at USC, then there are limitations on the kinds of courses that will waive reqs (you can't waive out GE's, but you can take classes for diversity or math/econ classes)</p>
