What are the cheapest non-tribal community colleges where I can take all the classes online?

I want to speak with students about careers in anthropology and give advice/insight into the next steps in your career. I have a soft spot for anyone coming from community college or a nontraditional timeline. I will help you network with anthropologists and talk about universities and graduate school etc. Just want to help!

This field involves underwater archeology, studying monkeys, working in biology labs, genetics work, linguistics, etc. Its incredibly diverse and I want more people aware that it is an option.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been thinking about ISAs (Income Share Agreements), which became popular in the U.S. some time ago.

I was wondering if students would genuinely prefer this solution over traditional student loans (private or federal) or other types of grants. Are traditional options truly accessible to everyone? Do they cover all the costs of studying without delaying your progress or causing stress and financial difficulties? Or is there room for a more flexible alternative, like ISAs, to finance education?

I’d love to open up a discussion with people who have experience with student loans. What struggles have you faced, and do you think an alternative like ISAs would be a better option?

I am in california trying to go back to a community college I attended about 6 years ago. I also attended a 4 year university and got a bachelors degree. My grades at community college were amazing, all A’s and B’s for 2 years straight. The last 2 years of my bachelors degree at the 4 year transfer university gave me horrible and horrendous grades and made my overall gpa drop to around a 2.0.

If I want to go back to community college, do I need to apply with my 4 year grades? Can I just pretend that didn’t happen? I don’t see how upper division grades would matter at a 2 year school anyways. I would hate for my past progress at CC to be ruined by my final 4 year grades.

This is my first semester of community college. It's about to be finished next Wednesday. It's looking like my final grades will be a Pass ("Major Exploration" for Financial Aid eligibility), a B or C ("Music Appreciation"), and at highest a C (Chem 110). I'm trying to become a nurse. I only really took most of my classes for credits because I had to drop two other classes early (one excused, one is a W) due to scheduling issues. I went through a lot of medical intervention this semester and some personal loss. Have I already ruined my GPA? In high school I had a 4.0 but with everything going on, I'm struggling and I don't know what to do. I want to do well and transfer into a nursing program after I finish my pre-reqs here. If there's hope, please tell me. If there's not, I guess just let me know so I could switch my major or something. I don't know. I'm just really stressed and depressed about all of this.

I’m in community college for almost 3 years now.. but I have not been the campus ever. Because I don’t car and city transportation sucks in my area. There is no city bus and trains. It’s only in the downtown area. So I was just taking few classes online for healthcare program in radiology tech. I’m not sure if I should continue. I don’t even know if I like this path. I just heard is 2 yr degree and it pay good.

After a devastating email from my university registrar, I am missing one single requirement to complete my degree and graduate this December as planned. This is already one semester late and I cannot afford to wait another 5 months to graduate.

With this said, does anyone know of any community college or online college that would essentially accept me for the current term? Like a very extreme example of rolling enrollment? So I could enroll today, do the online asynchronous assignments rapidly, and then submit that transfer credit to my university by late next week?

I acknowledge this is an incredibly long shot, but I'm wondering if anyone has heard of a school making accommodations for this type of situation. Willing to pay cash right away for the course credit. Please any help or ideas are so desperately welcomed.

Hello!

I am from California, and I need to take two online classes at CCP but I noticed they have deadlines. In California, we do things a bit different where we don't have deadlines to apply for a specific semester. Their winter deadline was December 2, and I didn't know about this college until now. I am wondering if I should call admissions office tomorrow and see if there is still a chance to apply. Does anyone have experience with this type of situation? Thanks!

hey everyone, i’m a freshman at uci, and i’ve been feeling really stressed about the amount of debt i’m going into with all these loans. i’m still not sure what i want to do, so i’ve been thinking about dropping out and going to community college to figure things out and save money. but i’m not sure how to talk to my parents about it.

i’d love to hear about your community college experiences! i know everyone’s is different, but i’d really appreciate your thoughts. thanks!

Hello I need at least one more class to finish my associates degree before I transfer. I see one that is geology, will it be hard? I want a very easy class compared to my other courses. Only thing I know about geology is I think it's about rocks. Can anyone inform me? I got calc 3, physics 2 and diff equations, so I want 2 other classes that I can easily go through.

Hello everyone, I'm thinking of taking two 8 week classes, and two 16 week classes this up coming semester, but I'm not sure what the work load will be like. Does anyone have experience with taking 8 week courses?

I'm a 17 F senior, I am a first gen highschool and college graduate. Me and my parents have no clue what we're doing. My counselors aren't being much help and looking online is beyond confusing. I need help figuring out where to apply/what I'm eligible for. I'm transferring to a 2 year (community college) and then transferring to a 4 year. I want to study child development/psychology/juvenile justice. I'm a California resident. I am not currently eligible to go straight to a 4 year since I didn't know I needed 2 years of language :( Please any help would be amazing!

Some (maybe) important things?

I'm Mexican/Italian I'm lefthanded (I heard you could possibly get a scholarship for that lol) I'm pansexual I'm first gen hs/college grad I'm the oldest sibling I grew up fairly poor (my family is doing pretty good now!)

I don't know what is important or what could help.

Thank you for reading! Please help!!!

So I have a mid C in one of my classes right now due to personal circumstances and missed the last date for withdrawing as I thought I could bring my grade up. I can not retake a class unless I get a D or an F grade. I know if I deliberately fail this class, I can retake for a A for sure; however, I also know it will stay on my transcript. Is it better to fail this class and retake it, or keep my C? It is a critical thinking English class. I’m planning on transferring to a cal state or a nursing program. I know a C will ultimately tank my GPA, but I’m afraid a potential F on my transcript will be worse. Please give any advice.

Hi, would like to ask po sana magkano po yung BS Accountancy 2nd year ( 2nd Sem) Tuition fee po? I am currently saving po para ma pursue ko yung second sem. Any ideas are highly appreciated po.

I'm trying to attend two different colleges at once which is referred to as dual enrollment here at my college. I'm applying for a second college and came across this question regarding my current college that I don't know how to answer. I answered with my estimated transfer date but received this alert saying "For College/University 1, you cannot specify a date after January 2026 for Attendance Ended. If you are currently attending this college, please enter the date that the current term ends". I would do as the alert suggests but I'm worried putting Dec 2024 (when this term ends at my college), will unenroll me from my first college

For context, I am homeschooled. Once I "complete" the 12th grade, I plan on getting my GED. As a homeschooler, I don't have a transcript. Will community colleges still accept me?? I'm hoping to potentially go once I graduate (mostly for remedial courses or any classes that'd be useful for skilled trades) and then go to a trade school.

Hello- Did anyone take summer courses at a community college to save money? If so how many per summer? Going to a 4 year college next year, but I am hoping to take summer classes to help with the cost? Was it easy to find/get approval for classes at a community college?

Has anyone that has gone to Greenfield Community College in Massachusetts taken the BIO challenge exam? I’m trying to get into an A&P class but I need biology as a prerequisite, which I took about 15 years ago (GCC requires less than 10 years). The school said I can take the BIO challenge exam… just wondering how hard it is? Thanks!

If you get a C in a class will you get the full credit for it, I missed two assignments and might get points taken off for not talking much and ya know, I do most of the work and have a B rn but just worried. Can anybody help me?

I go to Suffolk county community collage in Long Island and I’m just wondering and I’m worried lolz.

Hi everyone! I already emailed one of the schools with no success in getting an explanation. In California, the Los Rios Community College district has 4 different schools.

Sac City College offers an associates of science in gerontology.

American River College offers a basic associates of art degree in gerontology, in addition to 4 more associates of arts degrees which have an emphasis in a further field of study (advocacy, recreation, etc).

My question is, is there really any difference between these programs? Would an associates of science carry more weight? Will employers care more that my gerontology degree has a specialization?

Any advice is appreciated. Thank you!

I'm losing hope in other colleges and thinking about going to a community college in nc because my dad lives there . Is the chance of getting admitted 100% if i have a 1360 sat score and a 4.0 gpa or are there still some chances i wont get in ? Also i wanted to major in CS so can i study first year at a community college then transfer to a 4 year college to complete my CS bachelor degree ? idk anything about community college i just want to get out of my country.

I looked on cvc but they don’t show everything, and it seems they’ve already taken down winter classes.

Hi. So I was born in the US but my parents are Romanian and all of my schooling was done in Romania. Currently Im a high school graduate and Im in a Romanian college but there is a big chance that a really corrupt president will be elected. I was thinking about starting off with community college in the US since Im pretty poor. What do I need to do in order to get into one? Do I need to take the SAT? I took the baccalaureate. Do I need recommendation letters? Do I need to have volunteering activities? Those aren't a thing in Romania but I can try and do them. Please help me out because I don't now what these colleges are looking for. Im mainly interested in California but any state is ok. Also do community college students get accomodation? I can imagine that different colleges request different stuff but please help me out.

hi guys, i've always been a hard working student in high school, im doing really good with a rank in the top 4% of my class, and a 4.4 gpa. I'm a senior now and im failing my first class ever. im failing my sociology dual credit class, that im only taking so i can have an off period. i still have a few assignments to go in the course before it ends (its only one semester), but im worried that if i don't manage to pass the course, when i get accepted to colleges and send my final transcripts, that one failing grade will result in a rejection after acceptance. is this something guaranteed to happen? am i cooked? pls give it to me straight cause im scared for my future. my plan is to go to a semi prestigious 4 year university, and i just want everything to work out. thank you.

hi everyone, i’m a freshman at uci, and i’ve been feeling uncertain about my future. i’m considering dropping out and transferring to a community college because i’m not sure what i want to do with my life, and i don't really enjoy my current major. lately, i’ve been realizing how much money i’m spending, and it's been overwhelming. although i know i can change my major, the restrictions make it harder to do so. any advice would be greatly appreciated. thank you!

I recently contacted the Corporate Education and Training department at my local community college about the possibility of teaching a non-credit class.

They responded saying they weren’t interested because they weren’t looking to offer a class covering that material at this time.

Which is fair, that is their prerogative. But the thing is, I’m 100% sure the material I wanted to teach (how to automate boring, repetitive computer related tasks) is something employers would be extremely interested in having their employees learn for up-skilling reasons.

And they didn’t question my credentials, just that they weren’t interested in the subject matter. Which is weird because I thought they’d jump at the chance to offer a class in something relevant (and hence marketable) to companies.

Which leads me to my question. How does the Corporate Education and Training department at a community college typically choose what classes to offer?
