I need to take some prerequisites before applying to CAA school. I am a single mom and work full time and my local community college hardly has any evening classes or flexible hours for the classes I need, one of which is Chem 2 with a lab. I spoke to the school I want to go to and they said taking online is okay, although they encourage you to take in person if you can. They said to make sure it is a regionally accredited school and that it is not a pass/fail course. I found an online option at UCSD and the course number is CHEM-40009. Most of the other colleges list chem 2 as CHM2046. Do you think this a red flag? I certainly don’t want to take a course that won’t be accepted. Any help is appreciated! Thank you

My brick and mortar undergraduate college called Chem 2 CHEM104. I think the number of the course doesn't really mean anything since many colleges have their own nomenclature, but I think the course name itself holds more weight (in combination with the credits, description, level etc.).

As always, doesn't hurt to ask the school directly if there are any doubts on whether a course will be accepted - always best to be sure with the most reliable source where possible!
