<p>Hi everyone,
I am trying to come back to CC after 1st year at UC. But, I am worried that I won't be able to get the classes I want in order to transfer (finish IGETC and pre reqs)
So... Anyone who is attending IVC or OCC. Is it hard to get a class or impossible to petition to get into full classes if you have 0 credits to start with?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>I’m at Saddleback. If you have never taken a class before, it is really hard to get the classes you need. I am doing what you might try to do, I was at the University of Arizona and left to attend CC this year and transfer to a UC. Fortunately I am an athlete at CC so I was able to gain priority registration. If you cannot get that, you might be in trouble. Classes fill up super quick, and it usually takes 2 years to get the number of units needed to have a good registration number.</p>
<p>At OCC, have priority registration, got into all 19 units of classes I wanted. Anyone not so lucky is ****ed though.</p>
<p>I’m at IVC/Saddleback. I’ve had problems petitioning before, but I heard that if you apply for the honors program you get priority. Or if you’re an athlete. Or EOPS person.</p>
<p>I’m from OCC. It is pretty hard to get in classes if you’re a new student. But once you earn more credits, you get better priority. Make sure to register early and pay your fees right away.</p>
<p>im @ IVC and like hellostranger said, it might be hard your first semester to get all the classes you want, but from then on out you will be fine</p>
<p>^Seriously. Like for a calc I class, expect a ton of petitioners. As you go up further though it kinda lessens. My calc III class had a few empty chairs the first day, which was kinda unbelievable since I was used to petitioning for everything.</p>
<p>Hardest classes to get into? WR1, CS36, PHYS4A.</p>
<p>Saddleback/ivc here. Try and get into EOPS and you’ll get priority. Also getting onto some school thing will give you priority. </p>
<p>Priority = 1 week early than everyone at the school</p>
<p>Ivc student here. You should be alright as long as you register early. If you procrastinate u might be lucky enough to find a spot in a 7am or 7pm class. As far as petitioning goes, chances are slim. Basically just show up the first day, pray that an enrolled student doesn’t show up so u can take thier place. As far as I know credits don’t matter when petitioning, it’s just a matter of luck.</p>
<p>Dinotubin, how did u get in EOPS? I tried to sign up a month or 2 ago and they said they couldn’t accept anymore ppl bc budget cuts or whatever. I think I have a pretty good chance of getting in if they were actually letting ppl in, as I have an EFC of 0 among other factors</p>
<p>I started out at Saddleback and now am going to IVC. My first semester at Saddleback I got pretty crappy classes but made sure to just get all UC transferable ones (Like Anth10 Celtic Cultures lol)</p>
<p>It all worked out though. Petitioning is a nightmare in some classes and a cake walk in others…your best bet is to remain flexible and hit up all the times for a particular class you’re going for. Being lucky is a good thing too. Out of all the lotteries I’ve been in for class petitions, I never got a single one</p>
<p>at occ, if you’re in eops, you have priority registration.</p>
<p>dudemanguy: i didnt, my buddy did. i was in govt so i got priority :)</p>
<p>Hi, I got a registration date for occ for summer. May 21st is this early enough for me to sign onto any classes?</p>
<p>kay so i just registered for classes at IVC and i got my SOC1 ans ECON1 class but my writing and math classes are full. how hard is it to petition a class?
i already emailed both teachers but im wondering if i should have mentioned my “situation.” should i have mentioned my grades in HS? i graduated with a 4.2 gpa but i didn’t want to sound like i was bragging i just want to make it clear that i am a serious and dedicated student. i plan on going to the first class like two hours ahead of time so i can talk to the teacher first. i really hope it works out. does anyone have any advice?</p>
