I need 3 credits to graduate, and i want to go in January (end of semester). What is the best option to do this if i’m not currently enrolled in a school?
I think that you need to talk to someone at the school that you are close to graduating from. If you are only 3 credits short of graduation, they should want to help you complete your requirements and graduate. I am assuming that 3 credits in your case is only one single course.
You might want to ask them whether it would be okay to complete the one remaining course at a community college near where you live. Alternately you might be able to complete this at a public university near where you live. However, you will need to coordinate with the school that you would be graduating from, and you will need to get their approval.
Online? Life experience credits?
