course re-take question

I posted this in the AACOMAS question thread but didn't hear anything back. Any help would be greatly appreciated as AACOMAS did not do a very good job of answering my questions when I asked.

I took 1st semester physics at a community college (quarter system) that followed a 1.5 quarter time frame to complete the course. The way it was broken down is as follows: PHYS 110A & PHYS 110B=quarter 1 and then PHYS 110C=1st half of quarter 2 and this completes 1 semester of physics (including lab) which results in 7.5 quarter hours and approximately 5 credit hours. The end result was a grade of "D" in each one of those units

I then re-took this course but at a local university where the lecture and lab were broken up into a lecture and a lab component. This was labeled as PHYS 1110 (lecture) for 4 credits which I received a "B-" in and PHYS 1154 (lab) for 1 credit which I received a "B".

In a similar scenario, I took 2nd semester physics at the same community college that followed the same course breakdown as above and received the following grades: PHYS 111A grade of "C" but then I withdrew from PHYS 111B & PHYS111C.

I then re-took this second semester physics course at the same local university stated above which is labeled as PHYS 1120 (lecture) for 4 credits which I received an "A-" in and PHYS 1164 (lab) for 1 credit which I received a "B".

Is there anybody out there who can help clarify how to list these courses as re-takes in AACOMAS? Should PHYS110A, B, & C be listed as R01 and then PHYS 1110 & PHYS 11154 as L01?

Thank you and sorry for the long post!

Have you tried calling aacomas and asking them.

I sent them a message just like my above post and the response I got was "that may work". Not kidding.

Not exactly helpful and I would prefer to not have my application sent back to me because of a re-take error.

I'd suggest asking for an additional explanation from AACOMAS. They will help you more than anyone here. More importantly, they are REQUIRED to help you. You are the one spending money on their service. It is their responsibility to answer ANY questions you may have regarding their policies.

Send a followup email or call them!
