Hello,
I am looking for a way to get an independent online distance learning class covered under financial aid. I need to take oral communication to complete my degree and it needs to be done by the end of July. I found a public speaking class at BYU that would fit my needs but they will not accept financial aid for this course unless I am also enrolled for classes on campus.

who are you getting your degree through?
CLEPS Passed: 10 DSST Passed: 11 TECEPS: 1

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.
Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.
Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.
Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.
Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.

Some schools allow dual enrollment with another institution. It usually requires both schools approving it. You may have to pay cash to BYU from your FHSU Financial Aid disbursement.

I'm sorry I can't think of anything that would be covered by financial aid. Depending on your needs, lower cost classes like Straighterline (ACE) or Torah College Credits (NCCRS) might help you.

Didn't know this...perhaps that will work for the OP!

This exactly. Generally, the course has to either not be offered at the home institution or something of the sort for approval. Once you have approval, you can enroll as a visiting student at the other institution and go from there.

Rebel,
I believe you're from my area? Based on your description I think I know the college that your daughter is attending. If so, I've had several comical advisory sessions there myself. I fulfilled STA 2023 with SL Business Statistics on an ACE transcript. At the time SL did not offer the introductory course or I would have gone that route.
Highlighting on placement vs. CLEP. When I earned my AA degree at Coastline my placement scores met the math requirement for the degree. It was good news at the time; however, when I transferred to another school to study nursing I was not allowed to take Anatomy & Physiology because Intermediate Algebra is a prereq. I had nothing on my transcript to indicate math proficiency, so the course was closed to me until I could meet the math requirement. I met the requirement by taking another placement test. It could have gone bad. The irony is that despite having earned a nursing degree from this school if I went to an advisor today and said that I wanted to take A&P they would tell me that I do not qualify. My placement scores expired about the time I finished all my nursing prereqs. If I had just taken the College Algebra CLEP in 2003 when I started the first AA, the math box would have been forever checked.
CLEP: Principles of Management (70), Info Systems and Computer Applications (61), Principles of Marketing (66), American Government (52), Analyzing and Interpreting Literature (56), Introductory Sociology (69), Introductory Psychology (69), Introduction to Educational Psychology (68), Human Growth and Development (68) DSST: Drug and Alcohol Abuse (60), Here's to Your Health (455), Introduction to World Religions (469), Management Information Systems (415), Ethics in America (443), Criminal Justice (434) ECE: Abnormal Psychology (B), Organizational Behavior (B) STRAIGHTERLINE: Business Statistics, Medical Terminology
BS Nursing, WGU - In progress
BS Liberal Studies, Excelsior - Need Capstone, on hold.

Your story sounds about right and reflects my experience with Florida CC's (now State Colleges)
