I need an online, Regionally Accredited, 3-semester unit course with an OPEN start date. It should be no more than $100 total. Additionally, it would be great if it took less than 20-40 hours to complete. Do they exist?

Take your pick, there are several self-paced courses at ASU available for $99 right now. Pay once you complete the class, it's free to sign up and start.

Yes, I read about them on another thread. I unfortunately need an OPEN start date and to start ASAP. Thanks for your reply.

Well, I think that the ASU courses are pretty close. I think that Uexcel exams are also close, especially because they are rumored to have online testing within the next month or so.

Thanks for your response. I couldn't find a self-paced AND open enrollment option. ASU does come close with an Astronomy course. Even though I can't start it today, I could enroll for 5/26. But, it lasts 8-weeks and I need to be able to complete something in no more than two weeks. Also, even though the calculus course is self-paced it starts in AUGUST.

ASU self paced:
Algebra
Pre calc
Business calc
Calc for engineers
English comp I
So they are self paced. It takes like two days to get approved but other than that you can start pretty quick.

Hello, natshar. I have already taken English Comp (I&II), precalculus, stats, discrete mathematics, and will be taking Calculus at SL because my precalculus is several years old and it's an easy pass.

So why not take business calc or calc for engineers at ASU? They're cheaper than SL.

Also idk what school you are going to but business calc and calc for engineers will probably come in as different classes.
Idk if SL's calc would be much eaiser than asu calc. Ive seen posts that sl's calc isnt good. And if you need ra credit it might make sense to do clac at asu vs sl.
Or just contact your school and see how both asu calcs come in. If at least one of the asu comes in differently then sl calc you could do both asu and sl.
