Whoops, I meant to show that SMC is a good choice.

I agree with @luckie1367 and @Happy2Help.

Generally, you don’t want to take any course series until you get to your “main” CCC. This is really limiting as a engineering hopeful, but there really isn’t any other option.

@eagle21, With regards to the online courses, if you can officially add the course then there is no problem regardless if your from a OOS CC or CCC. The problem is adding those said courses.

CCC’s tend to ask OOS students for a “enrollment permission verification” from their local community college district before they allow dual enrollment.

For example:

If a HS student Sally in Arizona wanted to dual enroll in a online CC class in California, the California CC would want verification from her local Arizona CC that she is eligible to take CC classes in Arizona before they allow her to enroll in California. The Arizona CC would in turn need verification from her high school that she is allowed to take classes at the Arizona CC prior to granting her verification to the California CC. This can be a lengthy process and needs to be done well ahead of time. Additionally, depending on the local procedures, Sally would normally will be one of the last students to register for classes due her dual enrolled special status.

It’s very important to note that UC-transferable online courses are very popular as IGETC fillers and are normally some of the first classes to fill up. HS dual enrollees usually register too late to be able to add them. Finding ones that work for you as an OOS dual enrollee will be especially tough.

Edit: Clarified the example.
