Taking classes from other Ivy Leagues, is it acceptable?

Okay so there's this virtual school website composed of Ivy League schools such as Princeton, Stanford, UPenn etc. Does it matter if I take courses for these schools but wish to attend Yale University? Or does Yale only wish for you to take classes strictly by them? Weigh in please.

This is the website
https://www.coursera.org/courses.

This is the article I read that persuaded me to look into it.

@T26E4 Weigh in just means to input your thoughts or comments on what was just stated.

@Mcat Okay I just thought all Ivy League schools would accept each others credits since their all Ivies and their in a "League" get it lol...

@Gibby I looked it up, thanks.

Coursera doesn't give credit, so there's no issue to be had here.

@snipersas Oh so if that's the case, what's the point of taking their classes, just to learn?

Yup, isn't that ironic?

No school is going to be offended that you took a course from another university. They're probably not going to be impressed, either.
