<p>Does anybody know if whatever university one is applying to can see if a class is on campus or online? I am going to be taking all online classes this upcoming semester and didn't think that it made a difference on the transcript and I just wanted to make sure (I heard otherwise from an unreliable source). I know that when I look at my transcript it doesn't say whether or not it was online or on campus. Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>To my knowledge, a transcript does not indicate whether a class is online or not. I doubt it matters to the In-State Universities when they consider your application. If a course is listed as transferable in your college catalog then it doesn't really matter what method of instruction is used for the course. The California Universities have already agreed to honor the course.</p>
<p>Out of state colleges are entirely different in terms of what they will and won't accept.</p>
<p>Seeing as how this is the UC Transfers forum, I'll assume that your question pertains to UC schools. I've been told that they do not care if the course is online, provided it is transferable. </p>
<p>As for them knowing about it, I'm betting that they can figure it out if they wanted to. I went to De Anza College and took a lot of classes online and each online course is annotated with a "Z" after the course number. For example: JOUR-002-62Z was Mass Communication and Its Impact on Society. I doubt that admissions officers pay too much attention to how you took your course.</p>
<p>I go to Santa Monica College and the transcripts here do not distinguish between online and on-campus classes. There's no way they could tell. Technically, the course content should meet the same standards, so it shouldn't technically matter.</p>
<p>My sister just got into USC, UCLA, Cal and Amherst from SMC and they all accepted most of her transfer credit, even though she had some online classes. I don't think there is a way they could tell what was online and what was not.</p>
