Are there accredited online college courses that you can sign-up and start quickly?

I am one class shy of graduation with a Bachelor’s in Business Administration. I have to take a Business Law course and have a little over two months to complete the course. Do you know of an accredited college that offers online courses, has a fast registration process, and would let me take one course at my own pace and be done with it?

If you are a good test taker and if your college will accept it, there is a CLEP exam for Business Law. I didn’t find this one all that demanding and was able to pass by studying an inexpensive study guide and reading the web. http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/clep/ex_ibl.html
If that’s not an option, and only if your college allows you to take outside courses this far into your program (I’d get that in writing before you take a course) then Louisiana State University offers Business Law online (http://www.is.lsu.edu/courselist.asp?cat=Business+Law&nid=102&pg=) (they are AACSB) and their cost is very reasonable. They have rolling admissions to classes as opposed to the semester system so you can do it now. They require proctored exams and the courses are rigorous – this isn’t an easy way out but would meet the demands of most colleges.
Make certain that you can even do this at this late stage of your degree program before you attempt anything that costs time and money.
Will your school even let you do that? Very often universities will not let you take courses elsewhere during your last 30 units or so. Also, you need to check to see if when they say they will only transfer accredited courses, they will transfer courses from any accredited university, or only from those with AACSB-accredited programs, which is a standard which none of the purely online programs have been able to meet.
Many community colleges offer online classes–the one near me has Business Law on the schedule. Enrollment should be quick and easy and not too expensive. And if it’s not online, take a summer class which should only take a few weeks anyway.
