<p>so im planning to take some coursera/Udacity courses over my junior year summer,</p>
<p>would I be able to put this on my app?</p>
<p>if not, can I go to a community college, and sign up for one of their online high school courses, is it app worthy? what does a "non transferable college course mean"?</p>
<p>Yes, you can put it on your app. However, I would suggest that you send a transcript of the courses instead of trying to include them as ECs.</p>
<p>I suppose that technically speaking, courses taken outside of the normal school day could be considered extra-curricular. However, it seems more promising to me to use this section of the app to highlight your interests and accomplishments in non-academic settings.</p>
<p>There is plenty of leeway in the Common App to include all your personal information in whatever format you decide will present you in the best possible light.</p>
