On your Official Study Plan, we will check to see which courses we are able to give you credit for from prior coursework.
Note: PSYC310 Principles of Psychology is generally listed as "General Psychology" or "Introduction to Psychology" at many schools. So where PSYC310 is listed as a prerequisite, the equivalent from previous coursework is acceptable.
