I read that you must list the title of the course "exactly as it appears in your transcript." A couple of my schools use abbreviations for courses, such as "Hist of West Art" for History of Western Art. That one's obviously easy to figure out, but there are some others that are more ambiguous ("Elec Media Reg Pol" for Electronic Media Regulation & Policy).

Would I put down the entire course name as it appears in the catalog versus the abbreviation on the transcript?

Thanks!
 
Although it may be confusing to them, you list exactly what appears on your transcript. It is their job to verify it when you send in the transcripts to them. I think this is what they ask based on my memory:
Course name(ex: Chem101)
Title name(ex: Physical Chemistry)
Units(ex: 1,2,3,4,...)
Category(ex: Bio, Chem, Physics, Science, Other...)
Type (ex: repeat, AP credit,...)

I remember worrying about the same thing as you too last year. Just type everything exactly as it appears on your transcript and you'll be fine. I remember having some confusing ones too and it all ended up fine. good luck!
 
Thanks for that, I was wondering that too because my school abbreviates on our transcripts a lot too.
 
go to your registrar and get an official copy for your self...then there are no discrepancies on your aadsas
