Senior Year College Level Courses

Parents Forum

<p>My daughter will be taking two college level courses her senior year: accounting and English. I have the option of paying about $500 for her to receive six credits for the English course (the class in comprised of two classes--one in Shakespeare the other poetry). </p>

<p>She plans on majoring in finance, so I don't plan on paying for credits now for the accounting class because most universities want students to take accounting there.</p>

<p>Any ideas on whether I should pay for the credits?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Is there an option for her to take AP English instead? My D. did not have to take more English in college after that (except there was some special 1 semester requirement for Honors program that was very easy). If she already took AP English, I would not bother to pay $500.</p>

<p>If she will be going to the college that is offering her the credits, I'd seriously think about it. Otherwise, I probably would not. Getting credit at one college for work done at another college can be tricky.</p>

<p>You'd have to talk to the colleges that she is interested in to see if they will accept the transfer credits. Make sure that you get your answers in writing.</p>

<p>The state u's in our state will transfer most college level courses taken at any CC in our state.</p>

<p>I agree. Check and see with her future college if they will even accept the transfer credits. Otherwise, you may be wasting your money.</p>

<p>Fortunately, our state has dual enrollment so all of my rising junior's college semester hours and books are not only paid for but will all transfer in-state. The only thing we have to pay for is the parking permit. If things go as planned she will start at her school her freshman year with 35-40 semester hours.</p>

<p>She did take AP lit last year. We're waiting on her score.
She will not be going to the school were the credit is being offered.</p>

<p>Thanks for your help!</p>
