<p>I agree with @amsstory , sign up for as many CC’s as possible. Maybe out of area where there is a high amount of CC’s and lots of resources (Bay Area for example). I did this and was able to submit my transcript via mail, get pre-reqs cleared right away using my unofficial transcript all via email and took classes online. There is no application fee!!! So apply away! There are however, credit fees of course. 
I’m currently enrolled at 4 CC’s haha.</p>
