How do i make a proposal to the dean to take a class that i need to graduate?
I am suppose to graduate in the fall but i just found out yesterday that one of the classes i am taking in the fall i need a prerequisite before i take it. I was suppose to take prerequisite class and the class that you need a prerequisite to get in. I just found this out yesterday. My advisor is about to be fired this semester. So i had been dealing with the department assistant. Nobody told me this. Now they are saying that i might have to go to class in the spring time just to take one course. So i decided i am going to fight based on the grades that I have received while at my college. I currently hold a 3.3 grade average and I have made the dean's list every semester since i have been at this institution. How should i go about fighting to take both classes at the same time. *** Note you don't need a math course as prereq its just another marketing management course as prereq.. when i transferred to this school i took a lot of courses at my other college without having a prereq and this school accepted those courses knowing that.*** |

There should be a paper form available for this situation. I know in my department it is placed along with other forms outside of the Dean's office. They won't make it easy, but it should be able to be done. |

Hello!
I am a sophomore at University and I need a little advice on a roommate related subject. I am in a triple (last time I am living in a dorm - hopefully we will get an appartment next year) so it can get a bit crowded althugh we do have a lot of space all things considered. However, I am currently single and my two friends both have boyfriends. Sometimes it feels as though I live with three or four roommates and most of the time they sleep over.
So I don't want to be the friend who confronts her other friends because she feels neglected. I feel as though this is more of a problem with respect for everyone living in the room. One of my roommates even had sex six feet away from me while I was still sleeping. I mentioned it the next morning - I felt like I kept my composure quite well, but I was brimmming with fury. She felt awful about it so I don't want to bring it up again, but I can't imagine why she thought that would be okay.
I also try to be very respectful when they are trying to sleep and I wake up early in the mornings. However, when I am trying to go to sleep and it is around midnight, it might be nice if they shut off the TV or kept talking down to a dull roar. Just yesterday one of my roommates was going to come in and wake up my roommate and her boyfriend who were up until 5:30 working on papers the night before just to watch TV. I know and accept that people will have lifestyle differences, but I think that they need to be a bit more respectful. I am sure that there are things that I do to annoy them too, but at least I always consider them when when I am doing something in the room while they are there.
So I was just hoping I could get some opinions on what I should do - if anything. Or if I am complaining too much! Thanks!

I've been there. You need to talk to them about it. The TV and talking loudly are normal things, people don't notice how loud they are sometimes. It isn't unreasonable for them to lower the sound or talk quietly. |

Ok.
So when you attend a community college and you want to transfer to a University. Will they still look only at your high school transcript, or will they be more focusing on how well your doing at the college? |
| adam32m says: |
They will look at your SAT or ACT score, your high school transcript as well as your college transcript. Basically, they look at everything just as they would if you were applying right out of high school. Since your community college is the most current information, they will tend to focus more on that than your high school. |
