The person on that Reddit thread has given me the idea to take the Sophia courses and try transferring them in regardless of what my advisor says, since they may not have the correct information. I will try and keep everyone posted!
Here's the response on Reddit in case you missed it. And in case anyone on this thread wants to follow the drama
Quote:Ok so not to be a jerk to your advisor at all here, but I double checked this just now - they are wrong.
You can transfer in your gen Ed’s - I saw multiple students who were accepted to BS.CSC with almost all of their gen Ed’s transferring in from other schools/Sophia.
The Cornerstone for Social Justice DOES need to be an equivalency - but it doesn’t need to be from SNHU. You will be able to satisfy this with ENV-101 (Environmental Science) taken on Sophia.
I’m sorry you’re having this experience. Your advisors have completely incorrect information and I can understand if you’d wanna wash your hands of SNHU after this, but I can tell you based on other students evals I am looking at, accepted literally yesterday, that you can absolutely transfer in those gen Ed’s to the BS.CSC. It really bothers me that advisors are giving out information that quite frankly is out of their departments “jurisdiction”. They don’t decide what credits transfer into which section and they’re giving you straight up incorrect info, to the point where you said earlier you wanted to drop out.
I’ll be talking with my leader/director to see if we can do something about this.

It might be best to avoid SNHU for a while right now because they'll probably just be annoying to deal with until everything is sorted out.
We should start a tip jar adding $10 every time we're right and the college advisors are wrong. I wonder how much money we have in one year?
