If you plan on attending a community college, here are Destiny’s tips to help you get into the classes you need.
• Take classes in the morning or late afternoon. Most students don’t want to wake up early or stay late, so go for the times most students would dread. A class on Friday is even better.
• Take classes while in high school. If the class gives you college credit, that can speed up your graduation date.
• Take classes at more than one community college in your district. Dual enrollment gives you more options and puts you on a faster track to graduating.
• Be persistent. Classes have a wait list once they fill up. A few students don’t attend the first couple days of class, leaving room for others to get in. If you are between numbers 1 and 10 on a wait list, go to the class and fight to get in. Any number higher than that, your chances of getting added are low.
• Take online classes. This allows you to take more classes since it doesn’t require you to be on campus.
• Take less popular courses. Different classes satisfy the same requirement. For your art requirement there are classes such as film, drama, theater, photography and architectural technology. You won’t have much competition for architectural technology.
