Need school like ASU Universal Learner Program

Hi. I have 20 days to complete one or 2 courses. I need A's to boost my GPA. Arizona State University's Universal Learners program that is self paced is good but offers too difficult courses. My budget for each course is relatively unlimited. Anyone have any tips or ideas?

If you only have 20 days, you're a tad bit stuck. You could take TEL Learner classes, but those are going to take more than 20 days (there are 2 proctored exams and multiple papers).
BYU has a number of independent study courses, but I'm not sure if they can be completed in 20 days. https://is.byu.edu/ Why the rush?

The reason for my rush is kind of a specific one. I am currently an enrolled student at an on campus state college. However, I want to transfer to a different college for the spring semester but want a slightly better GPA to improve my chances (I have a 2.8 and would like as close to a 3). However the priority application deadline for the spring semester is Nov 1st, which is before the end of the fall semester meaning my fall semester grades won't be taken into account for my transfer GPA. The reason I need credits in 20 days, is because I am going back to school in 20 days, and my college has strict credit limits (Can't take less than 12 credits a semester to be a full time student and no more than 18 credits). I am already going to take an 8 week ASU course, giving me 3 credits, but would like to take more courses.  (08-07-2023, 12:47 PM)aetosdios Wrote: Thank you for your response.

Just because the application deadline is Nov 1st doesn't mean they couldn't accept a transcript after that. I'd definitely discuss this with admissions at the new school.

You get a discount if you're a member of their church tho. 20 days is a tight time frame.

You're going to have trouble finding courses that are just 3 weeks or shorter, I would check the WIKI for obscure courses and see if anything pops up. You may also want to see if there are self paced courses on ASU UL that interest you, for some classes, it may be an easier course even though it may have assignments/assessments, if the course interests you, you can try to finish that faster.

Are you trying to get into a prestigious school? I don’t think a 2.8 will prevent you from transferring to most schools. Have you talked to anyone in admissions? They may be able to ease your mind.

Most schools with a deadline of Nov will want to know what courses are in progress, and you'll have to send your grades after the end of the semester anyway. So those will also be counted in your GPA, just a bit later.

You didn't say what classes were too difficult or why, which would be helpful in suggesting different options.
