Fafsa, Pell grant, financial aid

[MNomadic]

sorry to bring back this older post. I've gone through and searched individual schools that are less pricey. I'm not really getting anywhere. I have some FinAid left for the year so I'm going to take 2 more classes at NMJC, I'm considering doing English 1 since I completed it at study.com and I'm getting some blow back on it every time I send my transcripts out. Anyways, here is what I'm down too, take as many classes as possible online (up to 90) and transfer to University of Memphis to finish out bio degree, go the TESU route, or go in debt for ASU. I did find Oregon State University has a couple of science degrees I may be able to get away with or even take classes there and then transfer them into U of M. BUT, they use a quarter hour system so not only does it confuse me, I think this means there price is actually about the same as ASU. I'm going to attach my credits. Thoughts? New info?

Don't apologise for bringing this thread back up. I was actually wondering how it all worked out for you.

Yeah most conventional universities outside of the big 3(and a few others) don't care for alternative credits. So taking a few more courses through NMJC may be your best bet.

As for which degree you should get... I'm not sure. I'm not really familiar with that field to know which would best fit your situation.

Best of luck wither way.

Btw, completing a few more of your requirements through a more affordable route before transferring to a more expensive school is definitely a good idea. Looking at what you have, most biology programs are probably going to require some chemistry, physics 1, higher math up to calculus 1 and first year English composition (1 & 2). Those are classes you should be able to find at cheap CCs/online or do through CLEP.
