Anyone else have a lot of trouble getting into courses at Wake Tech or CPCC summer Distance Ed courses that can transfer over to state? Most of Wake Techs were already full before they opened registration to "special students". CPCC's registration for anyone other than continuing students doesnt start until April 30th, 4 days after continuing students are able to register. Any other community colleges that have a large amount of transferable courses? Preferably Distance Ed courses.

If the community colleges are full, look into taking an interinstitutional course at another university. I took Intro to Linguistics (ENG 210) online through Chapel Hill one summer doing that.

yes but the courses are MUCH cheaper at community colleges, one of the main purposes in looking there. And a lot of Distance Ed courses i have seen available at state require coming to campus for tests and stuff which kind of defeats the purpose IMO

Ok, so start over, what's are the reasons (in order of priority) you want to do this? Mine were:

1) Finish out minor
2) Graduate on time
3) Reduce workload during semester
4) Convenience
5) Cost

^^they require you to come to campus if you live within 50 miles. if not, you can go somewhere else. it just has to be proctored by someone approved by the department.

yeah I live around 60 miles from campus and i take my tests at the local community college and have them sent to NCSU - its really not a problem except finding a suitable proctor - works great for me

I had my exams faxed to a local library. Answers were put into a blue book, sign/sealed in an envelope, and mailed to campus. Worked out well.
