Default Places to get college credit WITHOUT enrolling in the school.

Hi all,

I've seen a couple of people ask what to do if they have to take a college course that is not offered in a test or by the school in which they are enrolled. In most instances, you would probably have to go to a local school and enroll as a transient student. However, there are schools that offer web-based and correspondence courses for open enrollment for college credit. Some of these don't even require the student to go through the school's admission process. Just sign up for the class and pay tuition and books. Also, these correspondence courses are many times charged as IN-STATE tuition even if you don't live in the same state as the school. Many of these schools are the state-funded colleges and Universities. These aren't degree mills presenting watered-down classes. Anyway, I present this list to the board as general information for the members.

Adams State College
Idaho Electronic Campus
Indiana University
Mississippi State
Iowa Learns
Oklahoma State
Texas State
Texas Tech
University of Alaska
University of Arkansas
University of Florida
University of North Dakota
University of South Carolina
Louisiana State University
University of Nevada, Reno
Portland State University
University of Mississippi
University of Kentucky
University of Oklahoma
University of Tennessee

The following school is expensive but offers ONLINE degrees and you can enroll in classes without enrolling in the school.
Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT)
