WORRIED ABOUT PREREQUISITES? Are prerequisites keeping you from taking a class? Some prereqs are changing but won't change "in the system" for a year. Many people from industry may meet prerequistes through equivalent experience. Don't let not having a prereq hold you back! Make sure you contact either the instructor of the class, or a faculty advisor. If you are trying to register for a class that is full, please contact Misty Cline: mcline@edcc.edu with an email that states your name, which class(s) you are trying to enroll in, and a contact phone number. Also, should you be able register at some point in the future, either through instructor permission or by a slot becoming available in the class, please contact Misty and ask her to take you off of the waiting list. Thank you |
