<p>Hi, I'm an incoming freshman to Michigan this fall. I got a job that basically pays you to study, so I decided to get some of my distribution requirements over with this summer at a community college. I found the online tool that has all of the course equivalencies from other colleges, showing what classes other colleges' classes equate to, but how do I find out what Michigan classes are, in terms of the distribution requirement? For example, how do I find out what introductory classes at Michigan will be accepted as my Humanities credits? I'm on a time crunch here, as classes for summer sessions begin in about a week and a half. Thanks.</p>
<p>Your question is confusing me a little bit. Are you asking about how to find class information at UMich? If so…</p>
<p>[LSA</a> Course Guide](<a href=“http://www.lsa.umich.edu/cg/default.aspx]LSA”>LSA Course Guide)</p>
<p>You can search the course guide by department, and it will list all classes in that department along with information, including what distributions are fulfilled. You can also do advanced search for more options, such as only searching for classes that fulfill humanities, etc.</p>
<p>You may want to consult an adviser before you take a class at another school if the only reason is to satisfy distribution requirements. I would suggest using the summer classes to fulfill other requirements that you may need to fill because distribution requirements usually sort themselves out. If you need calculus as a prereq for something that is a popular summer alternative.</p>
<p>Yeah, definitely don’t take outside classes for something like humanities or social sciences without finding out if they’ll meet your requirements first. Talk to an adviser and see what you need to do for that before you sign up.</p>
<p>Something like calculus, as res ipsa mentioned, or physics I should transfer without you having to do anything special (assuming neither class is taken online), so that might be a better use of your time and money at the community college. You can apply those to your natural science or quantitative reasoning requirements.</p>
<p>Maybe some of this will help. My son is transfering from Washtenaw Community College to UM’s College of Engineering. Some of these classes will meet the General Ed. requirements while others are more specific towards engineering.</p>
<p>The first name/number is Washtenaw’s class and the second name/number is its equivalency at UM.</p>
