HELP!!! Paying for College Courses as HS Senior

Parents Forum
1

<p>Quick overview:
-High School didn't allow me to graduate early even though I had taken all the core classes (science, english, math, etc...) because "we don't offer such program" so I took college courses.
-School paid for first 18 credits from junior and 1st semester senior year, but they won't pay for more.
-I have to pay for credits second semester: ~$3000.</p>

<p>Courses at college(in high school lingo):
Calc 4
AP Chem
AP Physics C + Lab
Genetics + Lab
Anataomy and Physiology</p>

<p>So...
Any ideas how I can pay for it?
Is it worth it?
It's at University of Wisconsin Milwaukee, so most of the credits will probably not transfer over to my college next year.
If I drop the courses, I will have 1 english class at HS causing me to become super lazy and my brain to rot.</p>

<p>Thanks for reading! Any advice will help!!!</p>

<p>Would you be allowed to audit the classes? That might work if you are not going to use the credits anyway.</p>

<h1>1 -- Find out for sure if the credits will transfer or not. If they can, then $3000 is a bargain.</h1>

<h1>2 -- What high school in the country would not have a single course other than English for you to take? If all you are taking at U Wisc is math/science focused, you'd greatly benefit for some humanities exposure. Surely your h.s. has some options.</h1>

<p>I have to say your high school is being pretty generous with what they have paid so far. I know that doesn't help with your current financial issue, but I'm with StickerShock- what about a language course? Does Wisconsin offer any online learning opportunities?</p>

<p>First off, thanks for the replies.
I'll check if I can audit.
The thing is, the high school held me back even though I had no more bio, chem, english, math, social studies, etc... to take.
I could take foods or tech ed., but I rather self-study then take those "fun" classes.
Also, I can't language or other related classes since half a semester already past.
Any other suggestions?</p>

<p>Have you discussed this issue with the continuing ed office at UW, or whichever office has handled your enrollment? They may have funding or have ideas of where else to look. I had a friend who was in your situation last semester, and he was able to get a scholarship through our state student assistance program.</p>
