Well, my husbands work address is in Rhode Island, but we werent sure if we can even do that. Not sure how it plays into effect from where we connect to the classes online and all of my books and such would be sent to his work address' main office that he gets too about once a week.
I will definitely check into Quincy @GoodtoGo. I am not worried about cost of classes, just want to make sure that the class will transfer over to University of Alabama. I don't think I can CLEP the prerequisites and besides, I am horrible at science classes so I could really use them. I was told I need a Introductory to Chemistry w/ lab, Organic Chemistry w/ lab and Anatomy & Physiology I w/ lab& II w/lab so I have a total 16 credits. The only science courses I have completed so far at a previous college is Sociology and Psychology. I still need to complete a basic Algebra class, which I am dreading.
@marianne202 I viewed the school lists at EatRight.Org which shows which schools are accredited through the American Dietetics Association and show which programs allow students to sit for RD exam upon completion. At this time, University of Alabama is the only one I am qualified to enroll in. Some of them want people who already have Masters in health field, another one (which is 20mins from me) requires that you earn a 2yr Associates in Culinary Arts, another one you must already be working as a Dietetician (which makes no sense to me) I have contacted ALL of the POCs from those school lists and only program that would work is UofA.
I too had NEVER heard of this federal law until trying to apply to Rio Salado which I was really looking forward to doing their Chemistry class and using the chemistry lab equipment they set that would have been sent. It is a stupid law that, IMHO. Like I said, I am not even a resident of Massachusetts, just here on military orders. I am a resident of South Dakota, where I could enter Rio Salado if I had that mailing address. And my husbands military orders has his work location as Warrick Rhode Island (which people in that state can go to Rio Salado) his extension office just happens to be in Massachusetts where we picked to live to be closer to his work. A decision we have regretted for the past year
