So I've been taking a couple classes at a community college online, namely Intro Psych and Intro Soc, to prepare for the new MCAT. I was also planning on taking English Comp and Spanish this summer.This is in addition to my full-time undergrad curriculum at a university.

I was going through the MSAR, and a some schools are already requiring behavioral sciences and have an X in the "can be taken online" section of the MSAR. Same for English Comp.

My question is, how would they know if these classes were taken online or not? The transcript I generated from my CC doesn't have any indication of the format of the classes. Does the "no online" rule apply to community college classes at all? Also, why is there no allusion to the "no online" rule on the school's websites? I would have never known about this if I didn't have the MSAR.

Thanks!
 
Unless the app process is changing there wasn't a place to mark online vs in person. For me Adcoms didn't know which classes I'd taken online, as they're not noted on my transcript either.
