Enrollment During a Time of Limited Budgets
California community colleges are coping
with tremendous budget problems resulting from a dysfunctional state
budget. Dedicated faculty, staff, and administrators want to do
everything possible to help you succeed. Consider information and advice that can help you make the best of
this situation:
- The College now offers fewer course sections.
- Low enrolled classes are more likely to be canceled. If you wait to enroll, the class you want will be more likely to be canceled.
- Enroll for ALL of your classes as soon as possible.
If you wait, it is possible
that the class will be full or canceled, and you will be out of luck either way!
- If your class is full, try to get on a waiting list, contact the instructor, and attend the first class meeting.
- Enroll for a full (or even over-full)
schedule - if one of your classes is canceled you will have a better chance of getting a full load.
- Be flexible. You may have to consider alternatives to the courses that
were your first choice.
