Equivalent Courses
So here's the deal. I'm doing pretty crappy in school this year.

I want to take summer school courses but I also have to work and I don't have the luxury of doing both its one or the other unless its online. I've heard about transferring credits from places like Athabasca and I know it shows up as pass/fail but i was wondering how these credits are applied to your transcript and what effects it would have on any future pursuits?

Thanks.

You have to get the course approved (if it's not already) for equivalency. You should talk to your academic advisor, have the info for the course you want to take (University, course description/outline) and the info for the course you want it to replace.

No effect on future pursuits as anywhere you apply you, you will have to send transcripts from all universities you've taken courses at.
