<p>Same as topic. I'm still in high school, and I want to take some classes at an accredited community college, for dual enrollment and I'd like to know if this university accepts it. Even if it accepts only the credit not the grade, thats fine. I would like to know their whole policy about that.
I'm from Florida, by the way.</p>
<p>Just curious if its really worth it to take community college courses to get "ahead" when you could just wait and take the better course when you were actually in JHU....</p>
<p>Kinda is a no brainer to me</p>
<p>Why does everyone want to skip as much college as they can? At a school like JHU I would want to stay there for the full duration to fully broaden my intellectual, cultural, and social horizons....</p>
<p>Just my 2 cents</p>
<p>the policy is 12 credits. but I think they are changing it to no-credits from community colleges soon. but as it currently stands, 12 credits. </p>
<p>i do recommend taking classes at your community college for enrichment. if you are premed, try some science courses or at least get some background knowledge by taking AP classes. I took weak-a s s e d science classes and I'm just like "AHHH!" right now. Those who took the science classes as AP or at a CC are finding it a bunch easier.</p>
<p>i second what astrife says. slow and steady wins the race, me thinks.</p>
<p>Decisions about transfer credit are made by academic advisors and vary from situation to situation. The 12 credit max policy is correct and relates to all transfer credit, including AP/IB. Typically, only actual courses taken at other colleges (not dual enrollment taken at high schools) and that can match to introductory courses offered at Hopkins will be transferable.</p>
<p>FYI: From the academic manual: "The 12-credit limit on transfer credits does not include credit for Hopkins Summer School, Advanced Placement examinations, British General Certificate of Education courses, International Baccalaureate courses, foreign certificate courses or study abroad courses approved by the university and taken during the fall or spring semesters."</p>
