Cheap distant learning/online credits. - 000 - 10-19-2020

Need a minimum of 6 credits CHEAP (requires an actual grade) to assist with a past financial aid issue.

I found a few at around $700-$900 per 3 credits, but would prefer something cheaper.

Preferably a self-paced course so I can start and finish asap. 
Would need to transfer into TESU.

State is PA if that makes a difference.

Any others?

Those would be your best bet, but are there any courses you are looking for in particular? What do you consider cheap?

Try TEL Learning. It should transcript with an actual letter grade (you can contact them to make sure). It's $200 per 3 credits.

FHSU is $218 per credit

BYU and University of Idaho have self paced courses for around $600 or less.

Another option is a local community college. Depending on the state and your residency, they can be very inexpensive.

Anything can can help with the BACS from TESU would be helpful, but I still need plenty of LL credits so it doesn't really matter. Trying to stay well under $1,500 for a minimum of 6 credits. Just need some courses to get a GPA for financial aid.

These are probably your best bet for cheap credits. They're going to be LL credits, but they're RA. 6 credits is only 2 courses. Make sure you check out the out of state tuition rate and the fees. These all look to be under $100 per credit. I didn't look at them in great detail to see all of the current fees though.

Thanks, I'm more than likely going to go with Clover. Luna is still on probation.

Why no one mention ASU?

ASU is 425 USD per course, you pay just 25 USD to enroll the course, if you fail the exam you don't pay anymore, if you pass and you want the credits you pay extra 400 USD and then you get the credits. This isn't the cheapest but they offer this low risk deal, so it is so good.

If you enroll in Astronomy, Chemestry or Calculus, these are 4 credits courses, so you will get about 100 USD per credits rate.
