will taking both regular and online hurt my chances?

<p>I've always wanted to study in the US. The only way my parents allowed me to do so is if I promised to keep coming back to my home country. So basically, I'm spending half my time here, half in another country. </p>

<p>I'm currently in a CCC and plan on transferring after 2 years. The thing is...because of my transatlantic situation, I'm forced to take half of my classes on campus and half online. Will this hurt my chances of getting into a UC?</p>

<p>P.S.: I'm not an international student, I'm an American citizen.</p>

<p>If the internet classes are transferable I don’t see how it’ll hurt you. Just make sure it’s not those Univ. of Phoenix type of courses. I’m taking an online course at my CCC right now and it’s fine.</p>

<p>I have a question…if you are a American citizen, you have the right to take all your classes on campus…by the way, it won’t show on you official transcript, so take it easy.</p>

<p>Hongda: wait…is that a question?</p>

<p>oh, sorry. I was asking why the college forced him to take half online classes and half regular classes if you are a American citizen.</p>

<p>Hongda: I don’t think you read him correctly. Try reading it again. It deals with his parents.</p>

<p>oh, sorry. I was thinking differently. Could we take classes out of this country…sounds horrible…</p>

<p>jvn098,</p>

<p>The only thing that will hurt is if your major has deep course sequence pre-reqs, and those pre-reqs aren’t offered online. Of course, you want to take your online courses from a CCC. I’d say you should schedule your major pre-reqs for when you’re in California, and fulfill IGETC online. You can fulfill every IGETC requirement online, though you might have to shop around to find a CCC that offers what you need. I think SMC has great availability for every online course you need. And don’t worry, your classes don’t all have to be from the same CCC, you can mix and match.</p>

<h1>1 advice would be to plan everything out ahead of time as far as you can. You’re screwed if you’re in Germany–or wherever–your last semester and realize you need o-chem.</h1>

<p>As Hongda mentions, your transcript will <em>not</em> show that those courses were taken online.</p>

<p>Hope this helps,

<p>no it won’t, on ur transcript it will not mention it’s an online course</p>

<p>I’ve taken both regular and online courses for a couple years, and I’ve been accepted to 3 UCs for this fall, so I don’t think it would hurt your chances as long as you can keep up with the classes.</p>
