Brief Conversation with Admission

Back in 2012, I talked briefly with Admission regarding students transferring from DMACC with an interest in computer science.

• Grinnell's CS major would retain all of its requirements
• No specific DMACC courses guaranteed to count toward Grinnell's CS major
• Admission, Registrar, and CS faculty would review transcripts, if/when they were received

Summary: Grinnell's CS major remains in tact, and nothing specified about the relationship between DMACC courses and Grinnell courses
