I am currently in my senior year and taking two classes at a local college this semester. Next semester, since I will have fulfilled all of my graduation requirements, I plan to take all of my credits at the college. However, I won’t be able to enroll there until mid January since I am not a degree seeking student. Clearly, this means that I don’t know what classes I’ll be in next semester. How should I report my current year courses on the Common App? Should I only report the classes that I’m currently in and include something in my Additional Information section? Should I include the classes that I’d like to take next semester and if I end up not being able to take them I could tell the colleges?
I think it would be better to indicate that you are uncertain of actual courses at this time, but include the subject area of the courses you are hoping/expecting to take.
Instead of a specific course title, use something like “Local college English TBD”, or “college Math TBD”, etc.
Choose course level ‘DE’ and then put an explanation in the Add’l Info section.
As soon as you know which courses you are in, send an update.
Definitely use the Additional Info section to explain your situation. Your guidance counselor can also put something in their recommendation, if you ask.
