However when I applied for a private loan with my brother as cosigner I was
approved, but the amount was only sufficient to cover the costs of regular
tuition (4 classes).
I am now $700 short of taking this fifth class which I desperately want to
take. I cannot get approved for loans on my own because I have bad credit.
Is there any loan place for bad credit customers where I can get this $700
loan? Any suggestions?
Probably the best thing to do would be to talk to your school's
financial aid people -- they should be able to tell you what your
options are.

Also, if you don't need the hours, maybe you can audit it for free.
Most educational loans require the school to certify the loan and prevent
you from borrowing beyond the total Cost of Attendance budget they have set
up for you.
The best advice would still be to contact the financial aid office at your
school for viable solutions though.

However after thinking about it, I really want to take Auditing, which I'm
$700 short of with the $500 in additional money.

So did you follow up on my suggestion to contact the financial aid folks
at your school? They might be able to help you find a job, e.g.
Yes. Request another loan for $700 with your brother as cosignor,
stating that the amount is for taking an additional course to improve
your employment prospects. Take a continuing-education course in
Auditing after graduation. Even a correspondence course is possible.
