Current HS junior. Do I take online CC courses during my senior year?

I am a current high school junior in Arizona and I am nearly done with my hs credits. If I so choose, I can finish high school by taking a few online credits over the summer. It’s not 100% definite, but I believe I would like to stay enrolled in my high school so that I can participate in all the senior year activities. My only class would be my student council, which will leave me with a lot of time.

I could choose to not take summer classes and have a fuller schedule senior year (bleh), to graduate in July when my online summer classes end (this would probably be awkward), or to minimally attend my high school and work a ton and/or enroll in an online community college program. Would it be wiser to take a ton of AP classes senior year or to started in a real college? Would it be wiser to have no senior year at all?

I do plan to attend a university in fall of 2025 along with the rest of my peers, and am worried about transferring my potential CC credits. I do not want to stay in-state.

Lots of info here and my counselor hasn’t been all that helpful. Any advice on which pathway I should choose would be much appreciated.

What are the best online community colleges to take psychology perquisite classes (for california Pys.D programs)?

I want to apply to get a Psy. D from a school in california but since i don't have a bachelors degree in psychology but instead in something else i have to take a few pre-requisite courses. It should mainly be Into to Psych, Abnormal and Developmental. Does anyone know an online school that would be best/easiest to get this pre-recs done. I've tried Foothill College before which hasn't been too bad but not sure if there are better places to try. Thank you

Is a 30 minute commute to college Monday through Friday a good idea?

I live in a Suburb of Dallas in Denton county and two Dallas College campuses are about a few minutes under 30. I plan on doing so because Dallas college has more course options than NCTC flower mound or Corinth. Do you think it would be a good idea to commute to college VIA motorcycle and car?

crushed dreams of going to a 4year :/

hi all! so i got accepted into many csu and uc but its not looking so good for my fafsa so i was thinking going to IVC… im a bit upset about it cause i honestly worked so hard in high school js to go to a cc because i won’t be able to afford a csu or uc:/ it honestly sucks for middle class families, that we don’t receive much support even tho we’re struggling as well. anyway that’s another topic. i’m so stressed and i feel like my dreams of going to cal poly slo are crushed :/ so the plan b is to go to ivc and transfer that way i can work to afford it. anyway my question if going to cc after everything you’ve worked hard for worth it? and also how are the accounting/business programs at ivc ???

Job interview questions

Hi! Posted a few months back about spouse and I applying to CC jobs. Well: spouse has an interview! We looked up mission statement, college’s strategic goals, course offerings, and faculty when we applied (to tailor materials) and will review prior to interview. I also found a list of sample CC interview questions and sample diversity interview questions. Would be great if anyone is willing to share questions they use/got, or what they look for in an interview (that’s within our control—we know “fit” is a slippery thing). Any and all tips appreciated, TIA!

Strategies to avoid improper planning and procrastination

Feeling overwhelmed by deadlines and tasks? Do you find yourself pushing things off until the last minute? You're not alone. Improper planning and procrastination are common pitfalls that can derail productivity and lead to stress.

However, there are effective strategies you can implement to regain control and achieve your goals. Let's explore some key methods to avoid these roadblocks:

1. Embrace Effective Planning:

  • Set SMART Goals: Define Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound goals. Break down large projects into smaller, more manageable steps. This creates a clear roadmap and reduces feeling overwhelmed.
  • Prioritize ruthlessly: Not all tasks are created equal. Identify the most important tasks (those with the most impact or tightest deadlines) and prioritize them accordingly. Techniques like the Eisenhower Matrix can help.
  • Schedule Time Efficiently: Use a calendar or planner to block out dedicated time slots for specific tasks. Factor in buffer time for unexpected interruptions.

2. Combat Procrastination:

  • Identify Your Triggers: What situations or emotions make you more likely to procrastinate? Is it social media, a messy workspace, or fatigue? Once you know your triggers, you can develop strategies to avoid them.
  • Apply the Pomodoro Technique: Work in focused 25-minute intervals with short breaks in between. This helps maintain focus and prevents burnout.
  • Reward Yourself: Set small rewards for completing tasks. This positive reinforcement system can boost motivation and keep you on track.
  • Just Start: Sometimes the hardest part is simply beginning. Use the "5-minute rule": commit to working on a task for just 5 minutes. Often, you'll find yourself continuing beyond that timeframe.

3. Create a Supportive Environment:

  • Organize Your Workspace: A cluttered workspace can contribute to feeling overwhelmed. Organize your physical and digital workspace for better clarity and focus.
  • Silence Distractions: Turn off notifications on your phone and consider using website blockers during focused work periods.
  • Utilize Technology: There are many productivity apps and tools available to help you with tracking tasks, managing deadlines, and setting reminders.

4. Embrace Flexibility and Self-Compassion:

  • Plan for the Unexpected: Things don't always go according to plan. Be prepared to adjust your schedule or deadlines when necessary.
  • Practice Self-Compassion: Forgive yourself for occasional procrastination lapses. Focus on getting back on track rather than dwelling on missed deadlines.

Remember, overcoming procrastination is a process. Be patient with yourself, and celebrate your progress as you implement these strategies. By taking control of your planning and combating procrastination, you'll achieve greater productivity and experience less stress, leaving you feeling accomplished and in charge of your time.

Those of y’all that took the chspe to do cc what now?

I took the chspe last year to drop out of high school, now in my first year I come to learn that the chspe is discontinued and I tried calling their office, their number, completely unresponsive so even if I were to be accepted for transfer next year I can’t obtain the transcripts let alone know if the chspe is valid!

Anyone in a similar situation?

Course recommendations

I'm filling in so corequisite spots for my degree with some Ivy Tech classes, and I was wondering if anyone had anything to say regarding a few of my options.

I am needing to take either HUMA100, 117, or 118. Theater appreciation, music theory, and music appreciation respectively.

They'll be online, but I just have no idea what any of them entail and I cannot get any good info on them from my advisor. Does anyone have any experience regarding what you actually do in these classes?

The online classes I'll be taking are run through Ivy Tech Indiana if that means anything to anyone

I started a program where MIT grads. tutor math & physics for $10/month

Dear community, I hope this is a helpful resource.

I started a program where MIT grads (Ben & Esther) are willing to tutor physics & math for only $10/month, because it's in a non-traditional youtube-style format.

I struggled a lot in college, and wish this existed for me.

If you're an interested student, DM me!

Biden Administration To Fund Training For Non-Degree Clean Energy Jobs at Community Colleges

"Today, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced a new $24 million funding opportunity to support workforce training programs with a focus on training for clean energy jobs that do not require a four-year degree.

Under the banner of the Biden Administration’s Investing in America agenda, community colleges, trade unions, and labor management partnerships can now apply for funding to establish Industrial Assessment Centers (IACs)."
