I think if you're happy, then you probably made the right choice, or at least right enough.  And I know what you mean about doing better than did when you were younger -- a lot of adult learners have a similar experience!

Hi Steve,

I am very happy actually, thanks for your feedback.  I have a question though that I was wondering if you may know the answer to.  I am in the Bookkeeping
Cert program like I said and I am on module 7 (a little more than half way thru). An enrollment advisor said that I could enroll in additional programs like an associates program for instance, after I have been a student for 3 months.  I have been for three months now, so I plan on of course finishing this BK Cert to obtain a job. I wish to continue on to complete an associates degree in human resources.  I signed up for the associates tonight and put the down payment down.  I received a new student ID.  However, When I tried to create a new user name and password with this ID is said my application is still being processed.  When I enrolled last time in the BK program I was able to access immediatley.   The error message said to contact them (theyr'e closed right now).  It also stated I need to take a basic skills assesment test for this program.  Do you Steve know why I am not able to access my  new associate lessons?  Could it be because it is late tonight, or did I skip a step, or maybe I am not eligible to sign up for this program yet?  I began my studies in Jan.  Another question I have is do you always get a new student ID number for every program?  I appreciate it if you could give me your insight if you  have the answers to these questions.  Of course I will call them in the am.  Thanks, Cathy


 

Hello,

I'm a Health Information Technology from Penn Foster. Now I'm waiting the proctor exams to finish the 2nd semester (I hope I can started the 3rd semester soon). Do you start your AS with Penn Foster? If yes, do you like? I love it! The only complaint is the student services and shipping time. I never see any kind a shippiment take more than 10 business days, but that's the price we have to pay to have low tution. It's worth the money.

Hi jessica,

i was wondering how long it took you to get your high school diploma through penn foster.

I enrolled last year (currently if i were in school i'd be a junior) and by the end of the summer i should or iould like to be done... did i rush too fast or is it ok to finish early.. and afterwards what did u do beause now that i have completed 66 out of 102 lessons i find myself asking what am i going to do after im done oh and how long did it take for your diploma to come and in the mail.

I fel like because i did online school that i won't have the same options as someone who graduaed from a regular school.

If you could give me your opinion it would help alot

thanks

I just enrolled at Penn Foster round 1am tonight.   I'm really looking forward to earning my degree.

Hey, welcome to the club!  Which program are you taking?  I'm in the Marketing program and I am currently in my second semester.  So far, things are going very well and I have earned 17 credit hours.   

I'm in the accounting program.  :)

I kinda flunked out of a major univeristy in 2005 and can't go back because I owe them 3k & they want that upfront.  Even if I had the 3k to pay them, my grades SUCKED & to register at any college in this state would require me to send them that awful transcript.  I decided to go with Penn Foster so I could start fresh.

If that's worked for you, then it's great that you got that second chance.  I didn't do that well my first time in college either -- young and distracted!

I am currently going for my Associates Degree in PC Maintenance Technology. Still in my first semester, will be getting ready for a proctored exam shortly.I actually enjoy doing this. It's so much easier than having to commute to a school and sit in a classroom all day.

I'm enrolled in the Computer Information Systems program with Penn Foster.  How long have you been enrolled in the PC Maintenance Technology program?  I had a hard time deciding which program might be better to take.

hi ther!!! well I jz got myself registered for the early childhood Education course but I am a lil tensed bout the beggining tests cz they mentioned sumthing bout the math test all i want to know is that is it goin to b really hard or is it really easy ones plz reply asap

Thanx a million

I was something of a math moron in high school.  I never did learn how to do algebra.  However, the PFC math courses are great and now I can do math problems that I would have just skipped in high school.  I worked hard, but in the end I accomplished something I never could before.

 By the way, your posts will be much easier to read if you just write out the full words and skip the text-message speak.  Some of us here don't text and need a translator to understand the abbreviations.
