Are online classes accepted for course credit at universities?
Question:
Answer:
Ok, first answer is wrong. Many universities and colleges will accept credit in transfer, even from online courses.
Before enrolling in an online course though, check with you academic advisor to ensure the course will meet your degree requirements and the school where you are taking the course is acceptable to them.
Many state universities have courses for college credit that a student can take without being admitted as a degree-seeking student. For example, you can take courses for college credit through independent study at Lousiana State University. You can take these courses without being admitted as a degree-seeking student.
Some online courses will require you to sign in at certain times through an online interface. Others will only require that you sign in and participate in online discussions on a forum. This allows the student to participate at any time of the day or night. Still others will send you a syllabus with lesson assignments that you complete on your own time and turn in online. In most cases, exams will have to be proctored. There are usually two to four exams per course. Generally, you can arrange for a proctor at your local community college testing center. For example, my wife has taken course through independent study at LSU, Mississippi State, and Adams State College and she takes exams at the local community college in Ocala, FL. She is currently attending University of Central Florida.
Only if they are offered by the accredited University you are officially attending.
