Possibly true in A&S, but as a SEAS student I definitely took Econ one summer at a different college and transferred it (obviously it was taken as an elective - not for an Econ degree).

You’re confusing taking classes before you enroll and after you enroll. Different rules. It’s not often allowed after you enroll, though sometimes it’s approved. Never take a summer course before you know!

GMU (at least the College of Engineering and C9mputing) does NOT let you take anything at NVCC once you start at GMU as a degree seeking student.

So I would be surprised if VT and UVA allow it.

UVA does not allow it for current UVA students to take courses at another college during the summer.

Yes. Most schools allow you to do this. Check out Transferology. Although CC is cheaper per credit hour; usually the credit transfers but not the grade so if they're looking to boost their GPA, this may not help.

Usually it’s not for anything that would be core to the
Major either.

There is definitely a limit on transfer credits at UVA. I think it is 60. I think you need permission to transfer in courses. They have an equivalence chart online to help you figure out which classes count for which UVA classes. It’s only for College of Arts and Sciences, though, I think.

If only you could google that. Oh wait, you can.

DE while still in high school should be ok but the summer classes as you described aren’t usually allowed. You’d have to apply and enroll as a student at the CC and the 4 yr colleges expressly forbid this.

Once the student has started classes at the 4 year, you can ask for permission to take a summer class somewhere else (after freshman year). If you really want to get a head start, see if the 4 year has a program for incoming freshmen that allows them to take university classes over the summer before attending. Many schools offer this.

I would think this would only work if the schools don’t already offer the classes.

Check to be sure they wouldn’t make you reapply as a transfer. Once you enroll they want your money going to them, not another college.

The two schools couldn't be more different. Stop trying to draw unrealistic comparisons and use google.

check with the school on this to be sure, and get it in writing

After enrolling at VT or UVA, can students take community college courses and have them transferred to the university, in summer or regular term. Is there a limit?
