Has anyone heard of buying a credit? for example if I need 9 more credits and classes are 4 credits each and there are no 1 or 2 credit courses offered, then I might be able to “pay” for that credit rather than take (and pay for ) another 4 credit course?
Sometimes there are independent or directed studies available for varying amounts of credit but otherwise I have not heard of this.
I can’t imagine any reputable college wanting the reputation that their credits are for sale.
You may have to take an extra credit or two. Or consider taking a 3 credit course at your local CC over the summer, making sure that it transfers.
No. I have never heard of such a thing. The idea of college is to learn material not to buy credits.
You may want to talk to your advisor at college – it may be possible to find online classes or summer classes that your college would accept for your final credits (but if you go that route be sure to get them pre-approved for credit from your degree issuing institution).
My D had some phys Ed classes that only carried 1 or 2 credits, or look for a speech class.
