My sister is applying to PA school that require many of the science courses with lab. If you take an online science course with lab for instance anatomy, however it is combined (class+lab) as 1 course on your transcript without any wording indication of it including a lab. How does CASPA or I should say the school you are applying to know that you took the anatomy class + lab if it only shows anatomy?

Do all schools assume by the amount of credits the class is that it included a lab. For instance 3 credits is just the class whereas 4 credits always include a lab?

I would hate for her to get weeded out due to something technical or misinterpretated such as this...
 
Does the school specifically state that they accept online courses (most do not)?

I just looked at my wife's transcripts and mine. Neither states or shows lab separately, just the class title and number of credits.
