Online Course Grades

<p>I recently started taking an online college course; it will give me a couple of transferable credits. However, I am not familiar with the formatting of college courses in general.</p>

<p>My primary question is: Will other schools be able to see the grade you get? And will this negatively impact their impression of you?</p>

<p>In other words, will the grade matter? Or is it just the credits?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>The answer depends on how you are taking the college credit, and I am assuming you are in high school, which state you are in, and whether you will be going instate or out of state for college. If you are in high school, in our state you have to get permission from the high school before you do college courses (called dual enrollment and paid for here), and meet certain criteria, GPA, etc. The grade and credit is reported back to your high school and incorporated into your HS GPA (unless you have already fulfilled your credit for HS graduation, then it just says x amount of hours over required graduation hours have been earned). When you apply for colleges, all DE coursework appears on your HS transcript, but you still have to send a college transcript to the university. It is up to the student to report any other credit earned: AP credit, college credit, CLEP credit, etc, to the colleges you are applying for as it has to come directly from whoever granted the credit, not your high school. So yes, the grade does matter just as much as the credit. However, colleges are not required to accept all extra credit, and credit earned may or may not go toward the subject. For example, if you get a 5 on AP English Language here, that gives you credit for English 1 and 2 in college. If you get a 5 on AP English Lit, it generally goes toward Gen Ed electives. VERY confusing. Same thing with college credit. You have to check with each individual college to see what they accept. If they do accept your college credit, then the grade becomes part of your GPA (AP and CLEP credit is not factored into GPA). Sorry for such a long-winded reply, but the short answer is yes, both the credit and grade count.</p>

<p>those grade will not affect you in a negative way because they are just credits . . these type of online courses are taken just because of self interest and they would affect you in negative way . . </p>
