Can you attend more than one university/college at the same time?

Hey there!
It is called concurrent enrollment. At least i know it is called that here in So. Calif., and i know it is called that back at Arkansas. it is a great tool to use if a course isn't being offered that semester/qrtr. , or your trying to knock out requirements faster or in that case trying to save $$$$$.

In St. Marys Univ. situation that is something you should check into. I bet you can go somewhere right now since you are not currently enrolled at St. Marys in a dual attendance situation and be able to transfer those courses back to STMU.

Either Way, Good luck, i know it will all work out in the mix!

I think if you can take your classes elsewhere to save you money then you should go for it. I know where I am we can take classes at another university (as far as I know they do not offer university level courses at community college), however, you first have to get, permission from the primary institution ( and that is such a hassle) and then you are limited to how many you can take at at another school, and then sometimes the course at the first university may not even be equivilant to the course ath the second school so you couldn't even use it as a credit towards your degree.
I think of you are able to take classes at 2 different schools to save some money then go for, just make sure there isn't a whole bunch of red tape you have to go through first.

wouldn't it be easier to take a semester at one college and then transfer the credits back to the better college you want the degree from?

I didn't thoroughly explain my situation, but I was considering taking a few classes at the university here (Texas A&M - Corpus Christi) and also at the community college. There were only a few classes I could take at the community college and did not want to have to pay for a semester's tuition at the university when I could save a good amount of money going to the community college. I came home for this semester (fall '02) and this coming spring semester. The university I attended last year and will be going back to in June '03 is St. Mary's University in San Antonio.

I hope that clears things up a bit.

Also, it worked out to where I could take 4 classes at the community college, which I think worked out for the better. Although it's only 12 hours, I'd hate to be going from campus to campus for classes. I can always catch up in the May-mester session.

I know that here at UBC, lots of people have a really, really hard time registering in all the classes they need .. . so lotsa people go and take classes at local colleges while attending UBC.
