<p>I really don’t think it would make any difference like you said because of articulation agreement. If they did any investigating because of the memoranda at the back it think it would be pretty easy to verify that it’s UC transferrable so I think we’re in the clear. </p>
<p>On a completely random note, I’ve found it pretty funny the number of parallels between us that have become apparent in the last few days. The fact that we’re both applying again and pretty much for the same major, and now this thing about ITV lol. I’m just curious, if you don’t mind me asking, where’s your first choice?</p>
<p>Yes, there is definitely some strange symmetry in our circumstances. Also, your posts often sound like something I would have written, which I find slightly unnerving. Hah. I wonder if I’ve ever had a class with you, or if I’ve met you? </p>
<p>Maybe if we met, we’d find out that we’re actually doppelgangers and then things would start flying all around us (like in that X-Files episode).</p>
<p>Anyway, my first choice is UCSD - except that this year I applied under CSE: Bioinformatics.</p>
<p>Haha, now it’s just getting too weird. And I have to agree with you that I’ve read some of your posts and pretty much thought, “that’s exactly what I would’ve written.” How creepy? As far as my first choice, no surprise it’s UCSD also. However, I’m also strongly considering UCLA for their Molecular, Cell, and Developmental Biology major and I applied for biophysics as my alternate. It would be interesting though if we both ended up at UCSD only to discover we were doppelgangers. I’m guessing the result would kind of be like what happens when matter and antimatter collide, in that we might cancel each other in a massive release of energy that would obliterate the entire campus lol. Hmmm, maybe I should go to UCLA?</p>
<p>@Kender- That’s exactly what I was thinking! If it is deemed “UC transferable” and is articulated between community colleges, why would it NOT be accepted? The fact that I have not seen this ANYWHERE on ANY of the colleges website makes me skeptical of this thread, not meaning any disrespect towards Ms. Sun, however.</p>
<p>is this really happening? do you think the UCs will notice that I took a class at a CC while I was still at a four year college up north…the CC was in LA. Obviously it was an online class but it doesn’t say so on my transcript. Do you think they’ll notice? I’m slightly worried now I took A LOT of online classes.</p>
<p>But on the UC application there isn’t a place where you can write “Online course”. For example, I took a Nutrition Online course and I clicked “Nutrition 44”. Nothing next to it said online…so I don’t think they have any way of finding out UNLESS you stated that “I took online classes during Winter Session” in your additional comments section.</p>
<p>kingdomsroa48: Exactly (including the bit about no disrespect to Ms. Sun) and it is nice to see someone thinking about this logically rather than assuming it must true with no written proof. My thinking is that some wires are being crossed here and misinformation was given out or information was misunderstood. Both scenarios happen more often than anyone would like to admit.</p>
<p>For the UCs to deny a course that is considered transferable via assist.org (or further: actually on IGETC), then it must be in writing somewhere. A lot of courses are available online that are also available in person and to accept one, but deny the other would leave the UCs open to a whole heap of trouble.</p>
<p>I took a few online courses myself and found them to be more engaging and allow a greater sharing of knowledge than similar classes I had in person. For example, an English Writing course. Discussions were well thought out and went to much greater lengths than any in person class I have ever seen. One of my classes at UCSC did have an additional online element for participating in discussions based online because the professor recognized that many were too shy to speak out in class, but were quite eloquent when it came to the typed response. While it was not officially a hybrid class, these additional assignments were used to help consider our participation grade (particularly for those who did not speak much at in person discussions).</p>
<p>No one should be panicking over this unless there is written proof provided. It’s silly to worry one’s self to an ulcer because someone heard someone say that UCs don’t accept online classes. No written proof has been provided up to this point and until there is, no one should worry.</p>
<p>hply cow…half of my classes are online!!! LMAO… i never informed them voluntarily though except for my itv class i took form la mission college.</p>
<p>That seems like BS. If they didn’t accept online classes, then there would be a spot on the application that would need to ask what online classes you took. Or they’d have to release that info on the UC website. </p>
<p>My online classes were always harder than the regular, and the exams were proctored so there was no way anyone could cheat on them.</p>
<p>Why are people freaking out? If you mentioned your online classes in additional comments or your essay thats weird. Who would do that. Thats my opinion. If you dont have anything specifically saying you took online classes dont worry.</p>
<p>This is straight from the university of california admissions website:</p>
<p>"Does UC accept online community college courses for freshman admission?</p>
<p>Since online courses at California community colleges are equivalent in content to traditional courses, they are transferable, as indicated in ASSIST. (Please note, however, that UC does not accept online science courses to satisfy “a-g” requirements for freshman admission.) UC does not articulate courses on the basis of delivery method but rather the content of the course; courses are reviewed for content, rigor and scope of subject matter."</p>
<p>Glad to see more people are thinking logically on this and not assuming something as silly as this could be true. Like I said several posts back: this concept is total hog wash. Thankfully, Integrant has found proof that disproves the original post. Thank you for taking the time to search for that.</p>
<p>Something else that is interesting note is that the only two requirements of a-g requirements that are not allowed to have online elements are the laboratory science and the visual and performing arts requirement.</p>
<p>However, note the following found on the same link that Integrant provided:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Online courses for other a-g requirements are permitted provided they are one of the listed approved or if the high school principal certifies the course is comparable to the courses the student’s school offers.</p>
<p>Online art courses through a CCC that have already been approved for UC credit are the exception, though, and are allowed to be used. However, note that science courses are not noted as having an exception (I’ve yet to see an online CCC science course that did not have a required in person lab, though).</p>
<p>Doesn’t much matter for those who are transferring from CCC to UC, but it is good to be informed and know that online courses are not as frowned upon as the original posts suggests for transfers or frosh.</p>
<p>Is the op trolling? I would like some clarification about where they got their info. I almost mentioned one of my classes as an online class in the additional comments box because it is the only B I have but I decided not to because I felt it would look like I was making an excuse. I think the OP is confused or trolling either way they should explain themselves.</p>
<p>@Javy- ■■■■■■■■ is highly unlikely. The OP is a long time CC’er who is constantly giving out admissions advice. (See [askmssun</a> - User Profile](<a href=“http://askmssun.livejournal.com/profile]askmssun”>http://askmssun.livejournal.com/profile)). There is always a possibility that whomever was speaking at the workshop she attended was misinformed passed on incorrect/misinterpreted information. In either case, I really wouldn’t worry about your online courses. If they have been articulated course equivalents offered at the UC’s, and there is no option to list online courses on your UC application, this information is probably incorrect. Also, somebody above had already posted a statement straight from the UC’s about how they view CCC online courses.</p>
<p>UC’s not accepting online courses make me question the integrity of these UCs.</p>
<p>Natural progression of civilization would have all classes online. Going to a physical classroom at predefined hours is becoming a dated practice. A university that does not embrace this natural progression makes it seem as though the school is archaic and therefore irrelevant in our world. One must wonder if such a school is really a good fit when looking towards the future. </p>
<p>Moreover, every online class I took, which was two, all required exams and the final to be taken in the classroom. If anything, online classes are more challenging than a traditional class as the student must really be self motivated and advanced in their studies to comprehend the material without a teacher’s assistance. A university that is unable or unwilling to accept this fact, as well as the natural progression that is online classes, just doesn’t seem as though they can offer much to a generation raised in our times.</p>
I took A LOT of online classes.</p>
