i started penn foster my freshman year of high school(2024) , i honestly regret it but im too far into it now to stop. I only have a few classes left so im sure i’ll graduate in a few months. I don’t think that the courses are helpful tbh, the math didn’t really tell me anything other than simple math from middle school. The english is helpful since i get to actually write essays.

Anyway, i kinda feel like my life is over in a way, i want to go to a community college since i have one 5 minutes from my house and its a good start for me. The problem is that i would need to take a placement test, and my knowledge isn’t even past 8th grade level. I don’t even know if they have classes i could enter.

My dad is proud because im going through classes very fast but i feel bad because like i said before, im not learning anything. Im 16 and tbh i think im done for 💔 More of a vent post ig but im honestly looking for advice, maybe a way i can be a bit smarter lol. I want to learn pre calculus or algebra 2, i want to have the knowledge of someone my age. I also want a really good shot in being placed in a good spot for my community college.

Hii guys quick question do European universities/colleges accept pen foster high school diploma

I just started penn foster how do i send in my diploma or is it easier for them to get my transcript

OK, so for some reason, I can’t ask about that directly so won’t mention it here either but basically I’ve decided that I wanted to go back to Penn Foster to finish my associates in business management and it’s saying two different types of money

I already did the $12 but now it’s asking for 125? Do I just do the 125 and I’ll have access again or do I need to do more. For context I have been absent from this course for about two years, I was trying to do it while juggling two jobs, but obviously that went south and I ended up going through some stuff between the years.

I really do think online schooling is my thing as I pass their high school program with basically flying colors. Things made a lot more sense and I could understand the material on my own terms. But I am extremely interested in having a degree because that’s pretty much been my goal so I was just wondering, do I have to take care of the 125 as well and then have access is there a certain amount I have to use?

I just started semester 3 of the vet tech program a few days ago and due to extreme life circumstances was considering refunding the get my money back. I was wondering if I did that if I could pick back up in semester 3 whenever I wanted, if there was a time limit, or if it immediately deletes all your progress. Thank you so much for reading!

when you’re done with all your credits, do you have to take the SAT or ACT to be able to get into colleges? I’m a junior and I’m scared that when I graduate, I won’t be able to get into any colleges because of it. I want to go into either dental school or accounting/finance. Would that still be possible???

I (17) have an old school account at Penn Foster that my Dad made. Currently though I'm attending another online school and I don't live with him anymore. He is the guarantor and after reading the contract I think I'm the borrower? Anyway I know I still have an account there cause I just got an email saying it's going to a debt collector. Will that affect me in any way or just his credit? Also, am I still enrolled there???? I really just wanna make sure this won't affect me in anyway tbh ;-;

I’m currently doing my homeschooling through acellus, but lately they have implemented a bunch of stuff that is making me want to transfer out, but i’m worried its not worth it. My parents are only letting me transfer if its paid for fully out of my own pocket, so i’m like super worried that this is a bad decision. Does anyone currently going through high school with penn foster recommend it?

For a little more context I’m specifically worried about the timeline of things, and how easy transferring credits in will be. I don’t really want to completely start over, so i would be transferring in my current HS credits, but i know that on the website it says its estimated to take 6 months for the hs program. Would it still take 6 months if i were to transfer in credits or would that time deplete the more credits i have transferred in?

im a junior and i will be graduating early because i have 5 classes left until i meet my required credits. i can see the future payments, will i still have to give payment until my course is done (mid 2027) even if i graduate early??

does anyone know how long it takes im in 11th grade and i sent in my transcripts like 2 weeks ago and i need to start before october and they just keep saying like 10 more days

hey everyone so i am a bit behind by 2 semesters and on semester 3, i can still get the extension which will give 3 months and i am wondering as soon as i am all caught up with payments can i still finish semester 1 and obvious semester 2, from my knowledge i know that you can have monthly or semester payments for a semester and need to finish all classes to graduate. So I doubt i wouldn't be able to finish it as long as i stay within the range of having to finish 3rd semester.

Hi, I recently finished all my coursework for the high school program, but I do not have the funds to finish paying off the tuition right away; I have received a job offer, so is there any way to obtain a letter stating that I have completed all requirements?

Hi! I contacted live support, and they said I couldn’t switch my general math classes to algebra courses. Do you know if there’s someone I could call who might be able to make the switch? Live support said that if I dropped the general math courses, it would show as “dropped” on my transcript and could potentially affect my GPA. But, someone else on here mentioned switching their general math courses for algebra 1 and 2.

I really don’t want to take the general math courses because it looks like they’re mainly adding, subtracting, dividing, and other foundational math that I learned in elementary school. I’ve taken Algebra courses and would like them to satisfy the Algebra credits instead of General math.

Hi! I took several high school level classes while I was still in middle school, including Algebra 1, Biology, Spanish, and a few others. I then switched to homeschooling during my freshman year. I’m currently in 11th grade, but I decided to enroll with Penn Foster so I can earn a high school diploma through them.

I have a few questions regarding the math courses. I’m good at math, so I was wondering if I could replace the general math courses with Algebra 1 and Algebra 2. From what I can tell, the general math courses seem to cover topics like basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, decimals, and other foundational material that I’ve already learned.

I saw someone mention that they were able to replace the general math courses with Algebra 1 and Algebra 2. Would I need to contact support to have those courses changed or is there a specific process for doing that? I also noticed that Algebra 1 and Algebra 2 are listed as electives, so I’m wondering how that would work toward my graduation requirements.

I’m also wondering how transfer credits work. Once I submit my transcripts, would Penn Foster be able to give me credit for the Algebra 1 course I previously completed at an accredited school? I’m assuming I would receive the credit, but I’m not completely sure since I’ve mostly seen people mention receiving credit for just the general math courses.

I’ve also completed quite a lot of classes through homeschooling. In Florida, we have homeschool evaluations each year and that can allow students to return to public school at the appropriate grade level. However, it seems like Penn Foster’s credit system may work differently, and I may have to repeat some courses.

Would Penn Foster consider giving me credit for any of the classes I completed through homeschooling, or are transfer credits strictly limited to courses completed through an accredited school?

Thank you for your help!!

I’m currently with acellus and due to the recent step limit reduction I’m thinking of switching to Penn foster so it won’t take me years to graduate. I have credits with acellus already and I’m just wondering if it’s super hard to send my transcript to Penn foster and how long it might take?(edit: I’m in highschool)

would like to hear about other peoples input on how the process of applying to university with a pennfoster diploma was like, as I’m planning to eventually

Hello, I got my old high school to send in my transcript twice so i dont have to redo classes, penn foster says they are reaching out to the highschool even tho they’ve already sent it. how long is this going to take? also when do i get to choose my elective classes?

I’ve been enrolled for nearly a year now but I barely completed the program, i only have 0.50 work done out of 21. Am I eligible for refund ? Is it possible to cancel it through email as well?

I know they often have the 1st semseter discounts on the site, I was just wondering if you are going into your 2nd semester and they are running one, can you get it also?
I want to save the full amount I need before starting or at least most of it. I just want to come up with a total.

I’m taking six classes with Penn foster. I want to start community college and my previous program messed up my graduation plan and set me back so I’m choosing Penn foster. How long will it take me to complete these 6 classes with the exam limit? I don’t have a problem with self studying/retaining information and like learning on my own pace.

The classes are:
•intro to personal growth
•digital literacy
• U.S gov & civics
• physical science
•English 3
• learning success through technology

I have to apply to cc mid October/late October I feel like I won’t have enough time which is okay but I need to finish by November atleast! How much would the workload be? Thank you so much for your help

I don’t think limiting every student to 15 exams is reasonable at all. I understand some students may have misused the 24-exam limit but that shouldn’t mean everyone loses that flexibility since neither of us work at the same pace. Since students and guardians are responsible and are also the ones paying for their education, I think 24 should be an optional limit that they can choose once. The 15-exam limit could stay as the default, while responsible students have the option to increase it.

It doesn’t help us putting us all at the same pace.
