Students can take dual or concurrent enrollment courses through alternative accredited programs or institutions if their home high school or partner college does not offer them.

No. High school students can dual-enroll in college courses delivered in-person on a high school campus, in-person on a college campus, and online.

Course modality (in-person or online delivery formats) for dual or concurrent courses does not typically affect college admissions or transferability as long as the courses are accredited and meet the receiving institution's standards.
