<p>Is this frowned upon?</p>
<p>If you want to get credit, you usually have to get a permit/approval from your current college.</p>
<p>Many colleges have a visiting student option, which is similar to the study abroad program. As Sybbie says, the program of study has to be pre-approved by the school in order for the student to receive credit.</p>
<p>if you are not officially admitted to the 2nd school- you would be non matriculated- however- this is last for registration- and the course you want might not be available.
My daughter who had to retake 2nd semester of Ochem- found that all the Ochem courses at the UW were filled quickly.
She had to take the course at the CC which doesn't have the "offically admitted" hurdle, as she didn't "transfer" to the CC.
Her college prof did have to approve the class before hand ( I think he was also the division chair) and her advisor- before she could register.
Normally- they don't let courses that they offer- be able to be taken anywhere else and still apply to diploma. Classes they don't offer are able to apply- but grades are not calculated in GPA.
each school requirments may vary.</p>
<p>Emeraldkity4, your answer reads like a no. I like Marite's answer better. :)</p>
<p>well it would be up to the school- but if you are taking a leave- but still want to be considered a student at that college- some schools wont let you apply as a transfer student to another school.
because they don't want you to be an admitted student at two different schools at the same time- i don't know if this has perhaps something to do with financial aid?
Now I think that the study abroad works differently- at least at Ds school. You are an enrolled active student at the first school- and study abroad program is not extra- but falls under the tuition and expenses of first school- first school handles payments. theoretically.</p>
