Dual-enrollment situation

Transfer Students
1

Hey all, first time poster so bear with me

I’m sure this has been answered before, but please help me figure this out (I work full time and can’t get to the advising office)

I’m looking to change community colleges, As I want to move to a new city. There are 2 classes I want to retake, online, at CC #1 to raise my GPA. Need all the help I can get. Can I attend full time at CC #2 with full financial aid, and pay out of pocket for the classes at CC #1? I guess some of my concerns center around not getting full financial aid at #2 for this.

I’m not banking on it, but will the retaken classes still be counted towards my transferable credits count, or will it just be to raise my GPA only?

Does it look worse to have (now my 3rd) an additional community college on my college app? I’m hoping the grades in the end indicate a clear reversal of academic standing from when i moved to when I first started.

All of this is just ambiguous enough to make me ask for your help!

I’d trust the advice of the FA office at #2 over what an anonymous person posts here, but that’s just me…

Pay out of pocket for those two online classes and get them completely out of the way before enrolling anywhere else. You do not want to try to take them on top of the full schedule you would need for financial aid at the new place.
