I would agree, if you take the course and send in the credits after it's done you may not meet your expiration date. If the course is on your degree audit as planned (which I recommend) then I would estimate it takes 4-8 weeks to be brought in. One idea would be to watch for the transcript to be received and then send them an email explaining the situation. Depending on when the course ends (and how long it takes them to give you a grade) you might be able to make it work but you are right, you are running out of time. Although not the cheap option, you can extend your enrollment month by month for a fee of over $200 per month. You also have to be within your enrollment when you apply for graduation so keep an eye on that too.
Good luck.
