My guess is there might be some classes specifically unique to Notre Dame's teachings that can't be taught anywhere else nor accepted by ND if learned at another school?Duke is an academically respected school, just odd. Wonder what classes Leonard was taking that couldn't be transferred.

Maybe because they transferred from Navy, Northwestern and Duke - three excellent academic schools. So they were more likely to qualify. Undergrad transfers need to be up on their credits and on track to graduate in 4 years, in order to qualify.
Any kid who was deemed an academic fit at those schools would also have been one at ND.
That is true, however, we are discussing credits not transferred from Duke to ND. I'm curious as to what classes those were. I highly doubt Duke has basket weaving classes for credit toward graduation. I also understand there is a limit of the number of credits that can be transferred in.
That’s such a cool story arc for him. A big time basketball player who turns out to be pretty darn good at football as well. Goes to a prestigious academic and basketball school (Duke) and then transfers to a prestigious academic and football school that also has religious affiliations (since he’s clearly devout). It’s a great story.
Maybe he switched majors, and some of the courses he took at Duke don't apply to his new major at ND.
Agreed, but not only that. ND takes the courses they require first year students to take quite seriously. If an undergrad who wants to transfer to ND hadn't taken those courses at the other school, he probably wouldn't be allowed to transfer to ND. Schools like Army, Navy, Duke, Northwestern, Stanford and a very few others have similar freshman year requirements.
Why is that odd? ND is a small school. They don’t offer as many classes as a major research university like Duke. You can’t give credit for a class you don’t have.Duke is an academically respected school, just odd. Wonder what classes Leonard was taking that couldn't be transferred.

What? Duke has less undergraduate students than Notre Dame. At least do some research before you post drivel.
