Studying through online courses to get into university. Will they accept the credits?

I've been diagnosed with a severe social phobia when I was 15. And since then, my school life has been a disaster. I graduated from high school with a C average when I was 18.





Now i'm 24, and I wanna go back to school, get accepted into a university... But i probably won't be able to think straight with people around.





If I go through studies online, to get the grades I require, will the major universities like NYU accept these credits like it's earned by normal folks who attends schools offline?





Are the grades earned from online courses credited the same as offline?





Thank you.

Depends on the online school, the classes, and the universities you have in mind. Some online schools have some classes a university will take and some that they will not. It varies from university to university, too. The variance on this is huge. All you can do is contact the university of your choice, tell them what you have, and ask them what courses online they will accept and which ones they will not.





In any case, make sure you are seeing your doctor regularly about your phobia. Phobias are usually treatable, at least enough to get by. This is something you will really want to beat anyway. Even if you get through school, you'll find it difficult to make it in the working world without overcoming your social phobia. It is doable. My youngest sister struggled in school then lived with my mom until she was 24 for the same reason. She finally realized she couldn't live with mom forever, and now she is a 3.96 GPA student at a vet tech school. It is a traumatic experience for her at times, but she is plugging at it and is only a couple of terms away from a decent job doing something she loves. It never would have happened sitting in front of a computer.





Good luck!
Reply:I hate to give this answer, but it is a school-to-school issue. Some will, most wont. The school I am currently on Leave of Absence from will not accept online credits gained during this time. Your best bet is to send a quick email to the admissions section of the schools you are interested in and find out for each school.
Reply:yes they are credited the same as offline.


i go to school online at a community college and when my 2 years is up and i want to transfer to a university they will accept it.





the university i am going to transfer to after i finsih community college also has online courses, so maybe NYU offers something similar?
Reply:If they are credited courses through an accepetable school, there should be no problem. You really need to deal with your phobia, thats no way to live.
Reply:Contact the univeristy. Most universities have a section on the webpage where you can cross reference the credit for whatever online uniersity to see what if any credit you will get. Then match that up with the list of classes for whatever degree you deciede you want. CLEP tests good too.
Reply:the school that is offering that course can tell you if the credits are transferable. It is clearly the curriculum that they give you, and the amount of work involved.
