Taking in-person and online classes at two colleges at the same time?

[HP5182949]

I am currently in a college. And the college that I am currently at doesn't offer the class online. Can I go to a different college to take the classes online, and still be at the same college I'm at? I need the class online, it makes my school life and work life function more smoothly.

If you’re in the US, you need to talk (or email or whatever) to someone in the registrar’s office at your college. Different colleges have different policies about this sort of thing.

It is usually possible in state schools in the same "network." Ie., in California, it is possible to do this within the cal state, and UC system. But they usually cap the units in which you can do this. Like jtbell said, registrar's office is place with the answers.

It can also depend upon if you came up through a community college into a university setting (typical for some state college systems). Many schools have an upper limit of how many courses they will accept from other schools (often including instate community colleges as mentioned by Midgetdwarf by capping your transfer credits) and that limit is typically 60 semester credits.

If you have been attending this school as a freshman, this would not typicaly apply and if the course is from another accredited school, you should have a good case for having the class approved towards your degree.

However, you may have more difficulty if the class is in your major and your department has poor opinions of the school and the course. As jtbell stated, talk to your regestar and your department adviser.
