Well, here is my question to you.

<p>I am a high school student who is anticipating to take a class during the summer. The class I am most interested in is Math 72(equivalent to Calculus BC) since I know when I get into a college/University after high school math will be much tougher there so I really want to take the advantage of taking it at a CC before I graduate so I can get college credit. I AM not looking for high school credit. So, I talked to my counselor a long time ago and she said you can't take it because it's offered at our school. Is this true, because I want to take it and I know my cousin took it at a CC a few years ago. </p>

<p>I really would like to hear positive responses because I honestly want to take this class and take advantage of the privileges high school students get when taking a class!</p>

<p>PLEASE NO COMMENTS LIKE THIS: "First off, the class is not necessarily easier than those offered at the college/University you want to go to."</p>

<p>Thanks.,</p>

<p>You can take any class at a CC, regardless of where else it is offered, unless you have already earned credit for it or the CC expressly forbids it. In virtually all cases, you would simply sign up for the class as a student enrolled in a post-secondary program.
CC credits don’t transfer to high schools unless you ask for it, either.</p>

<p>I think that your counselor may be referring to a dual-credit program, where you get both college and HS credit for taking a class at the CC. If you want to take a summer class at the CC and you are willing to pay for it, nobody can stop you from doing so. You just won’t be able to get the course to count on your HS transcript (something that you probably don’t need).</p>

<p>But I need to get an R-40 signed, which has to go through my counselor. I will cross my fingers and hope for the best tomorrow.</p>
