Ideas about University Extension online Courses?

<p>Hi, I'm a new international McCombs transfer and I plan to take some self-paced online courses (Government&American History) at University Extension.
I have a few questions about the online courses and please give me some advice:</p>

<ol>
<li>The grades will count towards my UT GPA, right? Will it appear different on the transcript?</li>
<li>How long will it take to finish one online course? Assume I work very hard on it. </li>
<li>How hard is it to get an A? Since it will affect my UT GPA, I need to spare some attention on it. </li>
<li>What do you think of taking the extension online courses vs taking those courses at ACC or UT?</li>
</ol>

<p>Thanks so much!! And btw I will be attending July 2nd-3rd orientation :)</p>

<p>did you end up taking it?</p>
