<p>will barnard count summer courses taken at a local community college, or do they need to be from an equally competitive school?</p>
<p>I want to take summer classes at my community college this summer (because they’re the cheapest) but i need to make sure that barnard will give me credity.</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>I think if you look at the FAQ section under admitted students at Barnard's website, this is addressed. Check it out!</p>
<p>For some more detail about what courses count for current students (I'm guessing the rules are the same for transfers).
The high points:</p>
<p>-Courses should meet for at least 5 weeks and must meet for at least 35 hours.</p>
<p>-No more than two courses for a total of no more than eight points may be taken in a single summer session of no less than 5 weeks. (Some institutions may have more than one session in a summer.)</p>
<p>-Courses that earn fewer than 3 semester credits or 5 quarter credits will not be accepted in fulfillment of College requirements. They may count toward the 120 points for the degree.</p>
<p>-Credit will be given only for grades of C- or higher. P (Pass) is not acceptable.</p>
<p>I took a class at City College and I had to petition because it was only 4 weeks long, but I had my advisor's support and I got the credit. City College isn't a community college, but I don't think it's as good as Barnard and that wasn't at all a problem.</p>
