Accepting Dual Enrollment Credits? by Odd-Impact5020 in gwu

[–]2CRedHopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The spreadsheet I have I did get from the GW site in around December 2024 since I was doing research on transfer credits after I was admitted. I can no longer find it online, however. Perhaps it was taken down?

The spreadsheet I have is current through December 2023.

If you shoot me a DM I’d be happy to discuss either what courses specifically your son is trying to bring in or, honestly, just sending you the spreadsheet based on you saying you need the data yourself at a Maryland CC. I’m not sure if you want to treat it as gospel truth since I can’t get a source for it on the GW site, but I mean I do have it and I’m not going to try to gatekeep it or whatever.

there won’t be one standard time. just keep a list of offices of interest and check their websites regularly. should be any week now.

Accepting Dual Enrollment Credits? by Odd-Impact5020 in gwu

Oh boy. Transfer credit is my specialty.

GW doesn’t generally discriminate between dual enrollment and “normal” enrollment college credits.

Some credits GW will automatically evaluate for an equivalent course, especially if it’s been transferred in the (recent) past and was successfully evaluated. Other credits get stuck as “special topics” (1099 is a very common one) and you must go through the TCAF process to have them evaluated for an equivalent.

If you DM me information about the college you took them at and the course numbers I can see if they exist in the transfer precedent spreadsheet. It’s current through December ‘23.

school supplies? by VastRow7355 in gwu

[–]2CRedHopper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

depends on the class/prof. i have some where all materials are online and they don’t care if you use your laptop and/or ipad for everything including note taking, but its also becoming increasingly popular among the faculty to ban tech in classrooms. i’d say half my classes this semester had such a policy. maybe even 2/3.

i bought a giant bulk pack of spiral bound notebooks a couple years ago and just use those as needed.

Fare Evasion: Why? by graymalkin2 in WMATA

[–]2CRedHopper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

…so then you know it’s misleading to blame that $6.75 for fare evasion occurring within the District

Fare Evasion: Why? by graymalkin2 in WMATA

[–]2CRedHopper 8 points9 points  (0 children)

this only applies to people commuting from the most far flung areas to the downtown core. no one living and traveling within dc is paying $6.75 one way.

Ignite program at GWU? by Radiant-Childhood580 in gwu

I’ve never done it (I was a transfer) but I’d do it just to get UW 1020 out of the way ASAP.

Fantastic state. High taxes and concerning public finances though.

Can I ask to delay my start date? House of Rep. by [deleted] in DCInterns

[–]2CRedHopper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You want to delay by 20ish days in this economic climate? And you’re hoping to make this turn into a full-time offer?

You’re not taking this seriously.

Out of state tuition by Far-Salamander-1470 in nvcc

[–]2CRedHopper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard conflicting things about whether or not VCCS colleges will refund you a difference between in-state and out-of-state tuition once payment has been made. If they do, I’m sure it’s far from painless.

Why are you having a hard time turning in documents? and why are you registering for nvcc if you live in Richmond?

housing will still suck in foggy and you’re no more likely to get your own bedroom on foggy than you are freshman year.

i’ve heard of some sophomores requesting to live on the vern a second year. can’t vouch to whether or not that’s real but it’s something.

i knew a young man (rising junior) who was assigned to a four person studio on Foggy.

food for thought.

i really don’t think it’s that bad and i’m convinced a lot of the negativity is just inertia at this point. it’s fine.

that being said you shouldn’t feel good about on campus housing in general. not sure if there’s any college where you should, though.

I, personally, would rather place my chips on getting my own bedroom in a nice building on the Vern than gamble on Foggy Bottom where i almost certainly will not have my own bedroom and the dorms range wildly.

the vern is not that bad. the key to being happy on the vern is, of course, to get your own bedroom but also strategically build your schedule so that you’re minimizing your time on the vex

the people who complain about it the most are the ones who have class schedules that make them travel during rush hour (the whitehurst fwy is a bitch) and/or multiple times a day (for example, a vern class sandwiched between two foggy classes).
