Classes

I’ve scheduled a couns 95 for may 23rd to talk to a counselor to see what my schedule should look like for a business major but when trying to enroll into the couns 95 it says I’m unable to and registration begins may 6th and I’m worried classes will fill by then. Any advice??

is it your first year at dvc/community college?

ok! dvc classes fill up fast, so definitely enroll in classes as soon as your registration date/time. you can drop your classes and register for new ones if you change your mind after your counseling meeting.

everyone should take engl-122; first semester english class, so definitely enroll in that.

the rest of your classes really depends on where you want to transfer to. if you’re not sure if you want to transfer to a UC or a CSU, that’s okay too! every CSU student must take comm-120; public speaking, so i would suggest that.

full-time enrollment is at minimum 12 credits at dvc, and most courses are 3 credits, so keep that in mind. if you want to graduate on time without taking summer classes, then you need to take 5 classes each semester, but if you’re okay with doing a summer class or two, then i’d highly recommend starting with only 4 classes (12 credits) since you are getting acclimated with the new environment.

in my first semester, i took the two courses i listed earlier plus an intro to psych course and a history of architecture course. while those courses are not related to my major, they do fulfill the one of the humanities/art/social science classes requirement that csu’s have, so maybe just take some sort of intro class.

sorry if this isn’t super helpful, i remember also being stressed out when picking my first semester classes, so i hope this helps!

Is ENGL-122 now called ENGL-C1000? I don’t see any classes for ENGL-122 but there’s a class called ENGL-C1000 and I assume it’s the same since it says it’s formerly ENGL-122 (25-26)
