Thank you for the quick response I will write to Charter Oak and as you say no! is an answer! What kind of budget is reasonable in your opinion? The studying on my own will be a challange but I can get lecturers here to help with the subjects I have problems with (read maths). Can  u give me a website with more info on CLEPS for foreign students?

UNISA would be the best option but they do not have the kind of course I want. And i really dont just want a degree for the sake of it. I have really looked at Exelsior and it seems like a good option but am wondering if am udnerestimating the fees requirement. The US fees system is very different from what we have here.

Thank you
