Hi guys. I wanted to know from the people who already made it (since the admissions offices refuse to pick up their phones) :D. Did anyone who took online courses prior to admission have any problems getting these credits transferred in the NA program. I am planning on taking adv pathophys and pharm online. What are your thoughts? Any advice, thoughts, stories, anything :D would be greatly greatly appreciated.

The answer is completely dependent upon the institution to which you want to transfer credits. They either accept credits from your online institution or they don't.

Get a catalogue of courses offered from the college/university that you want to attend. Read it and see if they accept credits from the online program that you have utilized.

I took MANY of my pre-req's online through a local community college and have had absolutely no problem with them transferring. I'm actually pretty sure that my transcripts do not differentiate between the courses I took online versus in class. I also did my LPN-RN online (with 5 weeks each semester of in person clinicals). As long as it is a reputable institution it should not be an issue. Many schools are offering blended and online courses for those who are unable to attend traditional classes for one reason or another.

Good luck!

It doesn't matter if the course is on-line, but which institution is teaching the course. If the institution is regionally accredited-any state university or example. Watch out for private for profit institutions, ask about their accreditation status or it should be on their website. National accreditation is not the same.
