Here in FL they have a "dual enrollment" program for kids age 15 and up. They
can go for free and it counts as their HS credit. Many homeschoolers here
take advantage of this program....the requirement is they must pass the
entrance exam.

I also wanted to mention about that credit/nocredit option.
Many of what are referred to as "academic" courses are not offered as
credit/no credit. I teach Economics and Statistics - credit/no credit is not
available for my courses. Also - the credit/no credit grade doesn't get
counted in your GPA by the community college, but when you apply to a
university, they can decide to count it any way they want to count it and can
consider it however they want to consider it. For those hoping to transfer,
eventually, to the highly selective universities, having academic courses
with only a "credit" but no grade, might not look all that great. Same with
having a lot of "W's" on your transcript -- it won't matter at all if you
withdrew from a bunch of courses, to most colleges. But if you're applying to
highly selective, competitive universities, it might be held against you.
