My transcript has abbreviated a lot of names, can I enter the full name from the course catalog?

I did some research on SDN and I found a thread from 2006 where apparently AMCAS said that was ok, but I'm not sure if this still applies 6 years later? Course name AMCAS

AMCAS won't answer the phone all week and won't respond to my emails. :(

I've called and asked AMCAS this before, you should enter "exactly what it says on your transcript" is highly emphasized by them. There's no need/benefit for you to unabbreviate. Best of luck!
 
There were some course names that were just truncated on my transcript and it was not clear what the course was really about. I entered the full name for those in my application and it did not seem to have caused any delay. I submitted 5/28 and it verified 6/1.
However, the advice above it probably a safer bet.
