EXPECTED ITEMS FOR CLASS:
It is expected that you bring to class every day a pen or pencil, paper or lab book, textbooks to be used that day, calculator, etc. for ALL your classes.
ARTSYS:
This
fellowing web site is a guide to transferring your courses to the
various area colleges. It is operated by the University of Maryland with
input from all the area colleges. This is ONLY a guide.
Be fully aware that courses may not transfer
for one reason or another that once transfered fine. Keep all
syllabuses and materials related to your course work to show transfer
personnel (in case there is a misunderstanding that can be easily
resolved and allow transfer to go forward). Inform your department
or program at PGCC that once transferable courses are no longer transferable.
Be careful of lower level elective transfers. These do not transfer to any
actual course, but are electives that can fill a program if you need it.
Engineers and most scientists DO NOT need this type of elective. If your course
is transfering as this and you believe it should not, communicated this
to your department or program at PGCC.
