<p>Community</a> colleges: No room for lingerers - SFGate</p>

<p>

@San Francisco Chronicle

Beginning in 2014, the system will focus intently on students who are there to earn a vocational certificate, transfer to a university, or acquire such necessary skills as learning English.</p>

<p>These groups will get first crack at signing up for their courses:</p>

<p>-- New students who have completed college orientation and academic assessment, and who have set up a formal academic or vocational education plan for themselves.</p>

<p>-- Returning students with no more than 100 credits (60 credits are needed for transfer to a university as a junior). Credits for basic English, math and English as a second language won't count toward the limit. However, credits will count if a student fails a class or drops it after the second or third week.</p>

<p>Within these groups, first priority will go to active-duty military, veterans and current and former foster youth. Next in line will be very low-income students and the disabled.

<p>About time. Feel bad for the kids who can’t get any classes.</p>

<p>This is good for becoming efficient with our tax dollars. The local adult schools have the “short-term” vocational classes covered.</p>
