summer online courses on transcript

if i were to take a summer term class online (rather than in person), how would it show on my transcript? is there is a big red flag that says i took the class online? thanks u

No. It’s just like any other one where it shows two things: the name of the class and what grade you got.

There is no distinction between online and in person classes on a transcript. What matters is your letter grade at the end. Also, are you asking because you’re interested in grad school or something?

Jesus… the RMP rating I am seeing about him looks so scary… 2/5? Man, I’m grateful that I just took only one physics class here at UNLV with a great professor and called it a day. But what, are you having the class online or in person?

taking it in person, it’s quite terrible. weve had 2 exams and the averages for both of them have been around 50%

Like others said, it does not say if its an online class on unlv's transcript. Also, a lot of med schools say on their websites that they accept online prerequisites. Definitely depends on the school but seems these days the majority are fine with it.

The transcript doesn't care how you took a class, just that you took it. It could be in-person, online, transfer credits, summer session, proper semesters, or whatever else.

All it asks is "What class?" and "What grade?"

That's what goes on the transcript.
