<p>I want to show colleges that I know Multivariable Calculus. My high school doesn't offer it, and my local college is too expensive. </p>
<p>I could easily self-study it (and I will) but that does not allow me to write anything on my resume. </p>
<p>Is it okay to audit a course at a college (that may be a possibility)? Does it count on a resume? </p>
<p>Did anyone here run into this problem? How did you take MV Calc ???</p>
<p>Our school district has a program for kids that get past the top class level in various subject areas. The student takes the next class at the local college and the school pays for it. Is it possible your school has something like?</p>
<p>could you try an online course?</p>
<p>Bring this up with your department head, explain your situation. There are departmental funds that can be used to subsidize a CC course.</p>
<p>If your departmental head isn’t of much help, go to your school’s admins. I really believe they will have a hard time not wanting to help an advanced student. (Be able to prove you’re credentials your admins won’t know your math skills without department approval)</p>
<p>Two words: community college</p>
<p>Have you looked at edX? I haven’t myself but my younger son likes the offerings.</p>
<p>@ CT1417, I’ve looked at edX and Udacity, neither have any calculus courses. Those two sites are probably the only two good (free) online course sources. </p>
<p>This past year, I’ve met up with admins at my school to see if there is a chance that they could pay for me to take AP Chem at a college (they didn’t have it). They refused to use “taxpayer’s money” on my college course. In fact, I know my superintendent very well from all of those pointless meetings we had about AP Chem at the nearby SUNY college. </p>
<p>Also, the community college, while it may be cheaper, is too far away. I want a college that I can walk to in the middle of the school day. The nearby SUNY is the only feasible choice. </p>
<p>Nobody mentioned anything about auditing the course. I still get to listen to lectures and do homework and stuff. Do I get the credit? Can I write it on my resume? </p>
<p>I may talk to the math department at the nearby college. See if they have any way to help. Probably not, seeing as colleges are much more strict and official and law-abiding and cannot deal with exceptions to their tuition policies. </p>
<p>@celesteroberts, we used to have a program like that, which is very frustrating because they cut it the year before I needed it! </p>
<p>I will talk to as many people and department heads as I can guys, thanks for the advice. Any more advice is appreciated!</p>
