This is kind of a dumb question, but I can't find an answer anywhere...

<p>When you go home for the summer, can you take courses at a local college and have it count toward your degree at your actual school?</p>

<p>Errr, this is something you have to ask your school.</p>

<p>Duel enrollment i think its called? I’m not sure, best to call them and ask.</p>

<p>yeah… I figured. But it’s almost midnight and I really want to know right now. Haha</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure it’s very possible if it’s for a gen ed class, but maybe a little less possible for a more specific class.</p>

<p>You should make an appt with your counselor and talk to them about it, because I’m pretty sure you have to fill out forms early (for my school people are already doing it) and you have to figure out if the credits/course will be “transferable” or equivalent to whatever course at your institution. From that, I believe they do some deep research and call around and look at course descriptions? Not sure, though, but I do know it is very possible!</p>

<p>Ah very helpful, lullabies. Thank you!</p>

<p>very possible. You’ll have to get approval and when you come back for the fall you’ll likely have some paperwork to fill out. If they are very general gen eds (english 101, history of western civ, etc) the transfer will be smooth and painless. I’m going to be taking philosophy and religion courses over this summer.</p>

<p>If you’re looking for higher level classes you’ll have to be very careful. A friend of mine took Ochem 1 over last summer at a CC on trimesters and the credit wouldn’t transfer because our school is on semesters, and the Chemistry department decided that it hadn’t covered all of the topics from our school’s Ochem 1.</p>

<p>I do it every summer for Gen Eds. You have to make sure the credits will transfer and count, the school can help you sort that out. I love taking my summer courses at community, it’s so much cheaper.
You can only have level 100 and 200 classes count though, at least in my state.</p>

<p>I’m actually going to be doing it in the summer so that I can graduate early. Too bad it’s only my gen eds though…but there are a lot of them. >_></p>

<p>Most schools let you do your gen eds like that, you’ll just have to ask your advisor.</p>
