Many traditional students take online classes during the summer. Studying online can be a great way to squeeze a few extra credits in or retake failed courses, all without having to step foot on a campus. My latest About.com article shows you how to make the most of summer term online. Here's a blurb:

“Taking online classes during the summer can help you fit school into your vacation schedule. As a traditional student, your school probably has a strict policy regarding transfer credits…

Read your college's transfer policy. Your college's credit transfer policy will probably be found in the college catalog. This is a thick book that you received when you first registered for courses (not to be confused with the class schedule printed each semester). After reading the transfer policy for yourself, schedule an appointment with an academic counselor. He or she can help you understand the policy and answer any questions. Your college may require that you get course approval ahead of time or that your online courses are taken through an accredited school.”

Check out the full article for step-by-step directions for transferring online credits to a traditional college.
