I guess I could have used an option like that. However, since I work for the university at which I am taking classes the tuition is free. It makes it a bit easier to take classes when you don't have to pay for them.

The other issue is that this specific class is required for General Ed for a degree at this school. I guess if I took an equivalent course that would work too, but they are extremely picky here. For example, they wouldn't take any of my math credits from the military to satisfy the math gen ed requirement.
