Taking classes from other Ivy Leagues, is it acceptable?

<p>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.</p>

<p>This is the website

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

<p>^^ Google is a great resource. I found the answer by googling “yale courses taken at other schools.” It came up as the first entry.</p>

<p>@T26E4 Weigh in just means to input your thoughts or comments on what was just stated:). </p>

<p>@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… </p>

<p>@Gibby I looked it up, thanks:).</p>

<p>Coursera doesn’t give credit, so there’s no issue to be had here.</p>

<p>@snipersas Oh so if that’s the case, what’s the point of taking their classes, just to learn?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yup, isn’t that ironic?</p>

<p>No school is going to be offended that you took a course from another university. They’re probably not going to be impressed, either.</p>
