How am I suppose to get online college info if you have to be grduated to get sent info?

Asked by Brenna_o (1779points) May 24th, 2010

Okay so I am a junior in high school currently and I am trying to find information about different online schools that offer teaching degrees. I keep trying to fill out request information forms on their websites, but they keep telling me I cant get info until I graduate (or turn 18). So how am I suppose to plan for college if nobody will give me information?

Go to your high school guidance counsellor. S/he will be able to access the sites for you.

You can also see if your local community college offers online courses. They can send you some information.

You can always check with preexisting universities and look at their online divisions. For example, the Art Institutes offer online classes. Just ask and they will be more than happy to supply you with information.

Why do you want to go the online route? Is that a must? When I was a junior in college I was inundated by college brochures…and they kept coming until two or three years into college. If they don’t want to give you info, screw them; that is a very bad sign. I would check with local community colleges and universities.

@lilikoi I want to do online school because I have been home schooled most my life (still to this day) and I dont do well in a class room setting. It just doesnt work for me.
And I would much rather spend time with my fiance` then in a college class room….

@Brenna_o: You are a junior in HS and have a fiancé?

Home-schooling means you have no guidance counsellor. Have your mom or dad access the sites for you. (How do you graduate from a home-schooling program? Are there mandated courses, SATs, etc. (supposed)
