Taking a class at community college

<p>My son is a freshman at UA. He wants to take a class at the local community college this summer. As far a UA is concerned, what’s the process for doing this? Do you just take the class and have the grade sent to UA or is there more to it?</p>

<p>Take the class and have the credits sent. it’s not a big process.</p>

<p>Is your son pre-med? If so, then he shouldn’t take anything that is a premed prereq.</p>

<p>My sophomore daughter took a class at the local community college last summer (and plans to do so again this summer). She got a transient letter from UA which gives permission for taking classes at another school and also states the equivalent classes at the CC. Here is a link to a video describing the process: [Transient</a> Letter Intro Video | The Office of the University Registrar - The University of Alabama](<a href=“http://registrar.ua.edu/services/mystudent/transient-letter-intro-video/]Transient”>http://registrar.ua.edu/services/mystudent/transient-letter-intro-video/)</p>

<p>My d needed a letter of transiency which she found on Mybama.</p>

<p>^What they said. :slight_smile: Make sure that the classes will transfer before registering.</p>

<p>Keep in mind that many, if not most grad schools will require transcripts from ALL colleges/universities attended. Transcripts will cost anywhere from free to $15 each depending on the school.</p>

<p>My sophomore daughter got her calculus requirement out of the way at Calhoun last summer. She plans to take her literature requirements at Calhoun this summer. </p>

<p>It’s about the only way she’ll be able to do a bio major, music (flute) minor, psychology double minor, honors college requirements, and also a semester abroad.</p>
