Do I have any loan options?

I graduate this semester with my B.S. in Health Science, however I still need physics 1&2 and Orgo 1&2. I worked all through undergrad and never took out any federal loans. Recently I wanted to use some loans for my post-bacc so I can concentrate more on school and ace my remaining classes. The financial aid office said since I wouldn't be degree-seeking I am not eligible for any federal loans, only private loans. I definitely do not want to go the private loan route, so do I have any options? Or am I going to have to continue to juggle school and work. Thanks

Be a degree seeking student. All the post-baccs I know, including myself, have another declared degree. For you, just declare a biology major and keep taking courses. This will help your registration date move up and enable you to get federal loans.

How would this work if I wanted to take Physics at a CC?

Sorry, I have no idea...I am at a 4 year uni.
