Yeah, our local community college is about $70 a credit, but the fees for taking courses online is outrageous - about the same as the price for the course itself.
Here Researching for my son, who has done the following:
Community College: Intro to Philosophy, Fundamentals of IT, English Comp 1
Saylor: Intro to Business, Principles of  Marketing, Corporate Communication
Shmoop: US History 2 (WGU won't accept this)
ALEKS: Int. Algebra, College Algebra
Study.com: Personal Finance, Principles of Finance, HR Management, Global Business, Advanced Operations Management
Straighterline: US History 2, Environmental Science, US History, Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, English Comp 2, Principles of Management, Business Law, Business Ethics, Psychology, Organizational Behavior, Accounting 1,Communication, Managerial Accounting, Statistics
Ed4Credit: Managing Information Systems
Sophia: Project Management
WGU: Bachelors in HR Management 

Second son is currently attending Penn Foster for his high school diploma, then on to Ashworth for An Associates in Criminal Justice

With ours, you can enroll in anything for that price (1 class or as many as you can fit into your life). No payment plan needed for 1 course, as I took one last year for $155 total (including all fees). No additional fees for online courses. Now, the cost of textbooks, on the other hand...

Of course "cheap" is relative, since we pay a hefty amount of state taxes. We could probably move somewhere with less taxes, and afford the more expensive community college...

As much as I miss my home state and its low low low community college fees, I have to give a shout out to my adopted state of Texas and its low community college fees along with no state taxes. Smile
BA, MA, EdS, MMT, etc.

Out-of-state can get in-state at De Anza or Foothill community college if less than or equal to 6 quarter credits ($31/quarter credit). So it's possible for OOS to get their education subsidized by California taxpayers.

Wow, thanks for that tip! That's a third of what my local CCs cost.
