[quote=Anonymous]So here's the difference between DE and Nova Transfer credits.

When a HS student takes a DE course through NOVA and their high school, it has a different course number than if they took the equivalent course as a college student at NOVA. The universities all know the difference between the course numbers and which ones will carry equivalent credit and which ones won't.

Most of those schools will not take NOVA DE courses taken through your kid's high school. They may take college-level NOVA courses that are not high school DE.

Also, if speaking directly about NOVA DE math courses, if your student wants to study a STEM major, it is likely they will be required to take all of those courses again in college because the university will want them to take THEIR courses and not HS, AP or DE courses.

DS is a double major in mech engineering and  applied statistics at UVA. As an example, he took the same Stats class 3x that covered the same principles/material.  Once in AP Stats (5 on exam), once for the required stats class in his engineering major, and once for the required intro stats class for his applied stats major - requests for equivalent credits denied across the board.[/quote]
