<p>In an earlier thread of mine I read about Berkeley emailing a student and telling them they couldn't take an online class.</p>
<p>I know most schools don't make a distinction between online and regular classes on transcripts so even if we aren't supposed to be taking online classes, there wouldn't really be a distinction</p>
<p>but I'm curious
are we not supposed to be taking online classes as part of our 60 units to transfer?</p>
<p>That would suck. LOL.</p>
<p>I took a Biology 8 week class online needed for Pre-Reqs and they haven’t e-mailed me anything back, I have already reported it back in January…:/</p>
<p>Considering there is no indication of a distinction between in-class and online courses on any UC Web site, and no counselor has ever advised me against it, I would think that it absolutely doesn’t matter what type of class it is. I’m currently enrolled in an online humanities class, and according to Assist.org, it transfers to all the UCs I applied to without a hitch. In terms of Berkeley saying a student shouldn’t take a course, it might have been THAT SPECIFIC CLASS, rather than all online courses in general. Online courses are in no way less work than a “regular” class, so I really don’t see why a distinction would be made.</p>
<p>It actually doesn’t matter if it is an online class or not. As long as the class is transferrable whether it is online or offline then it’s okay.</p>
<p>I dont think that it shows up on the transcript if it is an online class.
Ive taken online classes only for subjects like Anthro and Sociology which have nothin to do wth my major</p>
<p>That makes sense.</p>
<p>I just realized I’m taking Cultural Anthropology this semester online, haha. </p>
<p>Thanks everyone. [:</p>
<p>i took an entire semester online but nobody would ever be able to tell because there is no sign of that on my transcript.</p>
<p>if you’re online course at your community college is articulated, then it should be transferable according to igetc standards listed in [url=<a href=“http://www.ccctransfer.org/igetc.htm]IGETC.htm[/url”>http://www.ccctransfer.org/igetc.htm]IGETC.htm[/url</a>] and the UC’s must take the course. The UC you’re applying to won’t know if the course is online if it is not listed explicitly on your transcript or if they don’t explicitly check the schedule of classes and notice the class is only offered online, and even so if you do well it is unlikely they will do much because it is upheld in the igetc standards listed in the link. Also, one can take all their courses online, yea its possible, especially at larger community colleges and at one that transfers many, MANY students to private prestigious colleges in California because there are no required on-campus meetings. If you want to fish around for online classes, just check for distance learning campuses and look at the green sheet or syllabus offered to see if the course says there are or there are not any on-campus meetings. You can essentially plan your schedule and take five online courses at various community colleges and never leave the vicinity of your own room</p>
