My youngest is officially a college student, and stupid crap guidance couselors say..

And had she taken the advisers word for it there would have been a mad summer full of remedial math only to watch most classes fill and run the risk of not making the grade even after the retake. Fact is that the Kid smoked the college english/comprehension portions and should be lauded for that achievement. This particular school has a huge (and growing) dual enrollment program and even an accelerated on campus high school. They shouldn't have to make up or guess at the rules.

LB: that sounds about right, you cant register till you see an adviser...but then the advice is questionable at best. Sorry you had to take extra courses. Smile

They're not making them up, they're confused.
TECHNICALLY a transfer track requires 100 level test score, you know that - so the exception (she isn't yet registering for a course with that specific prereq) didn't occur to that counselor (or work study- anyone's guess). But look at the bright side, you were with her, you knew the nuances of "if-then" and "if-not-then" so crisis averted....and now he knows (which won't matter if he's a workstudy lol)
