A friend recently applied to a University within the state of Florida. She met all the requirements except one--she was missing half a credit of foreign language. She was planning to enroll in the University this Spring, now she has to obtain an associates degree from a community college and then transfer in. All because of half a stinking credit she wasn't told she needed.
My question is: does anyone know of a way to obtain high school credit while in college? Not necessarily through the college, but while enrolled in college. The problem is she'll have to wait another year before she can enroll, and she wants to enroll this year. I was trying to figure out a way for her to go back to high school somehow, or to some vocational/GED school to get the credit.
Any ideas?
For one half credit, she should talk to the University and see whether or not they would admit her provisionally, conditional on taking (and, of course, passing) the subject her first term at the University. Alan Moore |

Some colleges, the University of North Dakota comes to mind, offer online classes in nearly everything. http://www.ndisonline.org/ISC/catalog/coffer05-06.htmlThey offer distance learning for high school and college languages. We almost had to sign my son up for German witht them due to a conflict with the top band in his high school one year. She should try to get provisionally accepted, with some agreement to take a quarter or semester more language alternatively. |

The College-Level Examination Program®( CLEP) can also be a way to get credit, but make sure that the university accepts the specific test. Basically, it is a one day test, usually about 3 hours long. Passing it gives you college credit in that particular subject. She should also look into telecourses, which can be taken through most community colleges. Sometimes, an 8 week course is available. I CLEPed 8 hours and got another 16 via telecourses in getting my teaching degree in 3 years. (I also went to both a community college and a university at the same time, full-time at both for a semester. I was in a hurry.) But whatever she does, she must make sure that the university honors it, and make sure that she has it in writing. "A verbal contract isn't worth the paper it's written on." - Samuel Goldwyn |
