I am the same level at both (about spanish II or Chinese II)

Can I hear about some of your experiences? Which course is better overall? I am having a hard time choosing which to do.

Basically I’m an international student from New Zealand attending USC as an incoming freshman, and I’m trying to take Calculus I this summer online at a community college for transfer credit. I’m wanting to do a minor so to fit it i really want to do a course prior to enrolling, and calc 1 is by far the easiest to transfer of courses for my major.

I originally enrolled at Santa Monica College, but all online sections for Calc 1 filled immediately. I can’t take an in-person class since I’m living in New Zealand (12-hour flight away). Fortunately, I was able to secure a spot in a fully online Calc 1 course at SUNY Rockland.

USC does not have a formal articulation agreement for this course, though their transfer history shows it has been accepted before as math elective credit (but not explicitly as MATH 125 equivalent).

Am I likely to be able to transfer Calc 1 from SUNY rockland as equivalent to Calc 1 at USC after appealing? It’s a very standardised course so i dont see why it wouldnt.

Any insight from people who’ve done USC transfer credit petitions would be really appreciated.
