Getting the run around from local colleges

I never attended the third school I applied to. They are pretty much giving me credit for everything except art history. So they are asking me to take one humanities class, speech and I guess I will need 3 more classes to meet the 15 hours in residence. Sadly, I can't get anyone to tell what three classes I can take. I would like to take Calculus 1 and 2 over again since I plan on going back to university to finish a bachelors in mathematics. Once I've taken a humanities class and speech I will have met the requirements for my degree so I'm worried that I will not be eligible for aid for the other three classes. I tried speaking to the registrar about this and she blew me off. She didn't answer a single question I had and was as rude as can be. No doubt because she couldn't answer my questions.
If the only purpose of the 3 courses is to meet residency, it is likely they can be any courses offered at the school. If the courses are needed to complete a degree, I don't see why they wouldn't be covered by aid. If you have to take extra courses, I would make sure they will apply to your bachelor's degree. Which means before doing this, pick the school for your bachelor's and map your degree path out.

Or take the WVNCC route outlined above where you might not have to take any more courses.
