It’s also important for you, in consultation with your CWRU academic advisor, to identify the correct CWRU physics course for which you need transfer credit. A General Bulletin-type description is occasionally sufficient, but not always. Simply sending along the name of the course is not sufficient since the same name, say MECHANICS, could apply to a high school, introductory college, advanced or even a graduate course. Ideally, you should obtain a syllabus that describes the textbook used and the topics covered. If you are seeking approval for a course not listed below, YOU need to provide DETAILED information about it. There are several general policies that steer the physics department’s decision on whether to grant transfer credit. While many of the pre-health students receive this advice as they consult with me, I am certain there are a fair number who do not seek my perspective.’ Since pre-health students typically apply to a range of 8-20 schools, and are thus likely to apply to schools that do not accept alternative classroom experiences, I recommend that the students take their core science courses at four year institutions in traditional classrooms. From Dean Scherger, health career advisor in the Office of Undergraduate Studies: ‘While the number of medical and other health science schools that accept online and community college courses continues to slowly increase, they still remain a minority among all programs. IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PRE-HEALTH STUDENTS (): Before seeking transfer credit for physics courses taken elsewhere, be aware of restrictions that some medical schools place on your studies. Advice on getting the form signed is included later in this posting. Information about physics courses taken abroad is available at the bottom of this page. is normally used for requesting approval in advance to take a summer course elsewhere. Current CWRU students should obtain approval IN ADVANCE before taking a course elsewhere this policy is in place to protect YOU, so that you don’t mistakenly take a course that will not be accepted for transfer credit.Ĭontact the Office of Undergraduate Studies in Sears 357 to obtain the forms you need or look at the web site.
Many also request approval for courses they wish to take elsewhere in summer school or in Study Abroad programs. Students frequently request transfer credit for physics courses taken at other institutions, commonly for courses taken before they matriculated to CWRU.
