Post-Bacc Timeline

Just gonna word vomit on here and hopefully it makes sense.

So, I do plan on doing a post bacc, I am currently a Junior, (will be a senior starting this fall), and to keep it short a lot of stuff has happened during my time at college that I plan on doing a post-bacc. Due to money and some family issues Im just going to enroll as a non-degree student at my university after I graduate. However, they are at a hard 30 credit limit and my post-bacc ends up being more than that. I was wondering if during my senior year, I can enroll as a non-degree student at my local CC and take the lower level science courses. Is that allowed? and will that add to my post-bacc gpa once i do non-degree?

OR Since the non-degree is 30 credits I will just take the upper level there, and can I do the lower level ones at a CC at the same time ( i know it sounds crazy on paper but), just wanted to know if that is possible. Thank you

Hi! Im super new to all of this (meaning both post bacc and reddit LOL), so please forgive me.

I had a terrible, terrible, undergrad experience academics wise, and I have pushed back my graduation date by a year . I do need to take a post bacc, but the non-degree program at my local university has a 30 credit limit. I have already seen people say that it's usually a hard cut off at 30 credits.

However, I do need to take ALL of the med school requirements, which is definitely more than the 30 credits. I was wondering if I should take some of the lower level science classes at a Community College during my spring semester (which is my last one), and then the rest of the 30 credits at my local university.

I guess my question is-- is that fine? will schools see the CC and the University and weight my post bacc differently?

If it is fine, what lower level classes would you recommend I take at a CC? ( I might even take them throughout my last year, like both fall and spring sem).

Sorry for any grammar mistakes lol im just writing whatever comes to my mind bc im super anxious about all of this. But thank you for taking the time to read this!
