OP - Also remember that your DD could take a summer session class.  And if she is looking to transfer to a 4-year college, she should be able to get the subject(s) that she will find the hardest out of the way with the ability to concentrate on them and not the pressure to finish in four years or carry 12 credits.  In addition, she might schedule some 'fun" electives during the summer months for credit and if there is any sort of a recreation requirement, do it during the summer term.

Also in the future, you might look at area colleges to see if one can start out as a part-time students in any sort of a part-time student status.  Some places there may be age restrictions, but perhaps not all.  Or see if one might attend a summer session class there to transfer back to community college for credit, but also as a "testing of the waters" in terms of the college level work and also the campus environment.

You are very wise to realize there is "no time table" to complete college as it is a lot better to go slow and steady then to flunk out and have to explain it and try to rebuild a suitable GPA if graduate or professional school are in the cards later in life.  She may well also gain some more independent life skills by balancing out school a bit with volunteer work or some part-time sitting.
