Can you go to a community college part time?

Answer 1

It is quite possible to work and go to school full time, though you may find you will have to take the minimum required hours to be full time (usually 12 hours). When planning your schedule, be sure to account for time outside of class to study (usually 2 or 3 hours for every hour spent in class). Also keep in mind it may be difficult to schedule the classes you need in order to graduate around your work schedule, depending on what sort of job you do. You may only be able to work full time and go to school full time for a couple of semesters/quarters, before you will need to drastically change your schedule in order to take the courses required for your major. If you do decide to do this, know that it will be very difficult, and many Professors will not make allowances for students who choose to work so many hours. Therefore, don't expect any of your teachers to help you and make your coursework and scheduling easier on you simply because you also work full time.

Answer 2

You do not have to attend college full-time. You can even take one course at a time if you wished to (depending on the program of study). Colleges and universities are full of part-time students. Many are working and take part-time coursework because of time constraints. So, you do not have to be a full-time student to get your degree.

Answer 3

It is possible, but you have to be very careful. Typically, there are some students in a semester that attend two colleges as a part of a consortium . However, one must be designated as the primary institution. There are also some colleges and universities that have cooperative programs. If you are receiving or intend to receive financial aid, make sure you talk to a financial aid counselor. If not, and there is a reason for attending two schools within one semester, see the registrar at the primary school for detailed information. Still, this is not an easy thing to do, and your much better off with attending one institution.

Answer 4

It is possible, but not advisable. You would be putting you personal and academic welfare at risk. List your priorities, and if it means cutting either your work of course load down, then that is what you do.

Answer 5

Yes, many community colleges accept part-time enrollment.
