Your girlfriends probably are wrong. Call up the Admissions Office – they’ll talk to you and give you accurate information. If you have the prerequisites, [pre-calculus probably], you have a very good opportunity to take only those courses you are interested in.

Good luck to you

If at some future time in your life you do decide you want a degree, then you can take the general education requirements at that time.

My best advice is instead of getting on yahoo answers, get on the website of the community college you want to go to — you may find all the answers you want there — if not, there will be an e-mail address for the counselling department and you can ask specific questions to them.

Best of luck with the classes and the baby!

You only have to take those classes if you are working towards a specific degree.

it sounds like you want to take Calculcus and Physics for your own fun or educational purposes. The only thing you will have to worry about are the pre-requsites. These are the classes you will have to take BEFORE you take a desired class. You shouldn’t have any problems with the science classes, but you may with the calculus. If I remember correctly you need to have a passing grade in College Algebra and Pre-Calculus before you can take Calculus.

If you are REALLY good at math there may be a way out of those pre-requsites, and that is to test out of them. Ask your school about testing out of classes. And if you take the Algebra or Pre-Calculus test and don’t pass them, don’t worry about it. Most people don’t. Those are not entery level classes. If you are able to test into College Algebra you are doing pretty good.

good luck.

Also your school is going to make you take CPT ( college placement test) if you have been out of school for 2 years. it is very easy if you can do math with out calculator.

You will have to take college Algebra before you can take calculus ( as far as I know )

Good luck.

They don’t use that harm full stuff in chemistry labs and your allow to wear a mask if you want. only thing that even smells harmful is Ammonia but its not bad for you to smell it just don’t eat it =)

since student register for there own classes no one can stop you if you get the right test scores and pay the fees. since your only taking them for I don’t want to say fun but only for your own benefit. Some classes do have pre requisites like Calculus pre req is college Algebra or Statistics . and Physical science ( physics) you can’t take it with out taking College Algebra first. or you take both of them at the same time. Also if you did not take two years of physics in high school you are going to take introduction to physics first.

BTW colleges have free counselors who will help you.
