a letter in parentheses following a course indicates that course fulfilled a core area at a previous University System of Georgia institution. No course substitution form is required for this course if used in that same area.

XXX

POLS 1XXX

a course listed with a first number (1, 2, 3, or 4) followed by XXX means that course does not have an exact equivalent course at VSU. The first number indicates the course level. This course is an acceptable transfer course, but a student’s advisor must determine how to use it in the program of study. If it is followed by a letter representing a core area, no course substitution form is required; if it is not, the advisor will need to complete a course substitution form.

a grade of K by a course indicates that the requirement has been satisfied through AP or CLEP scores.
