Hi,

I had a question about repeat courses. I took the 1st semester of
general biology and chemistry from one school, then repeated similar
1st semester general biology and chemistry classes in another
institution. Are these considered repeated courses, or are repeated
courses considered as such from the same institution?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I took 3 science classes as an undergrad and i repeated all the major science classes as a post-bacc at another school.
 
If it is the same course then it is a repeat regardless if it was from the same school or same course number.

I took Chem 100 "General Chemistry 1" at one school and then I took chem 141 at another school "Analytical and Qualitative Analysis, but they are both intro chem classes(no prereqs) with labs for science majors. And they covered the same material.I counted them as repeats.
