<p>I’m pretty much done with the plan C IGETC, completing Psych this fall semester to fulfill that Area 2 Math Req. </p>

<p>Other than that, everything is completed (except for Aread 1’s part “C” but that’s for CSU Only it states)</p>

<p>So I gotta ask…am I good? What do I do now? </p>

<p>I had this thought coming into this Fall semester at my CCC so aside from signing up into that Psych class, I’ve also signed up into Anth 120 (Archaeology)(& my major). </p>

<p>Plus CIS 101, Music 103, and English 241 pretty much just to get more units.</p>

<p>Essentially, what i’m asking is what should I focus on now? I’m applying to UC’s and maybe Cal State’s this fall (just need to do that Area 1’s “C” portion & their History Req.).</p>

<p>First things first, make double sure that you’ve completed IGETC and that you’ve accumulated 60 units after your last spring semester. Are yon on track to complete all of your prereqs?</p>

<p>I’m looking at my IGETC now and the only one I need now is the Psych class I just currently started this Fall. </p>

<p>Aside from that I would only need to take a speech class to fulfill CSU’s Area 1, Part C if I want to apply to CSU’s…which I think I might want to just to be safe.</p>

<p>My major is Anthro and my Anth 120 class this fall is the 3rd class i’ve taken under that major and i think the last of the 3 classes transferrable to take at a CCC b4 transferring…</p>

<p>I just need to make it to 60 units as you mentioned so will be tackling about 4-5 more classes in the spring just in case. I’ll be around 50 units at the end of this fall semester.</p>

<p>You are so lucky. I wish I only had 10 units left after this Fall. :(</p>

<p>I will have 22 left, LOL.</p>

5

<p>oh man, are you applying this fall? </p>

<p>does that mean you’ll be tackling 22 units in the spring?</p>

6

<p>Yep applying this fall. That means 8 in the winter and 14 in the Spring.</p>

<p>Not looking forward to this winter. I’ll be fine though I plan on taking time off from work to concentrate on not messing up.</p>

<p>hmmm, im doing 15 units this fall and am thinking about getting a job. </p>

<p>i have class mon and wed from 7am to 3pm and am thinking about part time work. also doing my 1st online class. </p>

<p>what do you think, part time job at a jamba juice or starbucks or barnes & noble?</p>

8

<p>You should be able to handle it fine. Just start off with a small amount of hours and once you get comfortable, add more on if possible. Try to get hours on Tues & Thurs to spread things out?</p>

<p>I’m in the same situation also taking 15 units and trying to work… my Fall schedule will look like this:</p>

<p>Monday & Wednesday
8:30-10:30 class
1:35-3:10 class
3:10-5:40 class
7:00-10:00 class</p>

<p>Tuesday & Thursday
8:30-6:00 work</p>

<p>Friday
8:30-10:30 class
11:30-6:00 work</p>

<p>nice, may i ask where you work? What do you think mixing school + working then? Tough? Manageable? Assuming you’ve done this previous semesters?</p>

<p>I guess I should begin to look at places to apply.</p>

<p>I work at the USC Dept. of Ophthalmology.</p>

<p>Mixing work and school is good for pocket money. I’ve been mixing school and work non-stop since I turned 16 (I’m 19). Also, it does depend on where you work. I have an office so I can shut my door and do homework or read or do whatever during my lunch break or after I’m off the clock.</p>

<p>It’s totally manageable for 12-unit semesters (which is what I’ve been doing while working just about full time) but I’ve never tried it with 15 units. I’m actually a little nervous about it, haha. My job can be stressful at times. </p>

<p>How many units is your typical load?</p>
