<p>I know many schools, including NYU CAS, do NOT allow students to take courses off-campus for credit and they expect students to complete all their courses, including summer school, at NYU.</p>
<p>Are many or most other schools like this? Are other schools more lenient?</p>
<p>i knew someone from cornell who took chem at my school and still got credit.</p>
<p>I’ve never personally encounted a school like that. Most prefer that you take the class with them, but there isn’t a rule saying you can’t take it elsewhere.</p>
<p>I’ve heard about schools that won’t accept summer credits for certain programs, but they also don’t care where you take it.</p>
<p>It really sucks that your school is like that!</p>
<p>It’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. I’m actually going to appeal their ‘decision’ later this afternoon.</p>
<p>My college allows it but limits it to 2 units (8 credits).</p>
<p>NYU is very explicit about not accepting transfer credit from summer school elsewhere:

<p>I would recommend you talk to the Advising Center, but I am afraid that there is not a lot that they can do given that NYU has very strict policies on that matter.</p>
<p>Umpakati, Why can’t you take the classes at NYU over the summer?</p>
<p>I’m talking to the Dean tomorrow who apparently can make exceptions. He’s the one who wrote me the letter denying my request.</p>
<p>I could take classes at NYU this summer, but I’d have to really, REALLY want to ($10,0000 + for just two courses for tuition and housing). No financial aid is offered for the summer.
UCLA would honestly be 1/4 the cost, and I wouldn’t need housing because I have family there.</p>
