Pre-approval of classes?

Yes it is 100% typical for colleges to refuse to give any answers about the transfer of classes.

The QC by an advisor is all over the board.  The other problem is the real decision makers in the Registrars office you generally do not have access too.

Good luck!  That is the reason the Big 3 were formed.  Generations getting hosed by colleges when transferring!

Ugh.  This is the epitome of what is wrong with the higher education industry.  That's just absurd.  (And yes, I concur regarding the registrar's office.)

My school seems to have a pretty liberal view of transfer credits -- their website talks about ACE/NCCRS, CLEP, Dantes, TECEP, and PLA, and has a 90-credit transfer max.  So I have every reason to believe the classes I'm taking should transfer for credit.  But that still doesn't help me to know whether they'll transfer as the necessary equivalents to meet the general education categories. :/

They do have a partner agreement with SL, so that's nice because I do know which of those transfer as what.  But it'd be nice to know whether I've "finished" what I think I have before enrolling.  And mostly it just drives me crazy that it's impossible to get a straight answer about much of anything from a school unless it's already in their documentation -- in which case I clearly don't need to ask them.
