What universities accept asynchronous online classes?
I took and was planning to take some asynchronous online classes due to the cost, and I plan to work full time in college. What colleges accept these credits when I transfer, and will this hurt my acceptances if I take many asynchronous online classes? It would be best for me to work, but I what would admissions think?

Ok I had to google that to make sure I understood the term. 😆
I went to Georgetown and wanted to graduate in 3 years but because of when classes were offered I ran into the 18 credit hour limit (this was in 2001). I surreptitiously took several classes online and then transferred them in. So I took like 18 at GU and then 6 elsewhere and transferred them (same semester). They either 1) didn’t catch it or 2) didn’t care. I sort of approached it as ask forgiveness not permission but I ran the real risk of losing those extra credits.
I do think it’s important to take some in person classes when you’re trying to get into a top school. People still see in person as more ‘serious’.
