For those in California

[Insert Name]

Thought I’d share a couple of things I learned recently when I enrolled in my local community college to knock out a class for Excelsior requirement. 
-they seem to be very lenient with the board of governors waiver right now. If you’re on a budget, take a look. A free class (plus a couple of dollars processing), and maybe a grant if you take enough units at once makes for free money. Even without a grant, free RA classes are good, right?
-I was told that they accept CLEP. Not sure about the others, but this one doesn’t accept Sophia (yet). This may be common knowledge here, but thought I’d share it. 
In summary: this may not be the fastest route, but for those on a budget and needing a couple of classes, it may be worth checking out your community college. I needed an ethics class, and by adding a second class I’m getting paid to take them instead of paying $1200ish (after Sophia discount) to take it at excelsior, and found that after transferring everything back to the CC I need that same ethics class and 1 accounting class to finish an AS in business entrepreneurship.
