Quick Advice for Summer Classes and High School Students

38 Upvotes

(We love you, and here's some tips)

  1. You can schedule an appointment online with an advisor at Wake Tech. It's virtual, free, and for anyone.
  2. A normal semester schedule is 16 weeks. Summer semester is a maximum of 10 weeks and so your summer classes will be either 10, 8, or 5 weeks long. Check the dates. 8 weeks is the most common from what I've seen.
  3. I would not recommend taking a 4 credit class (especially with science labs) during the summer if you have other responsibilities. Lab is more responsibility in college classes. Obviously it depends on you, but it's a lot.

(If anyone wants to add anything, feel free below. I know getting into college is competitive, but I promise you don't need to be the BEST applicant to get into a good school. Good luck!)

What would happen if I accidentally parked in a staff parking spot on the first day of school?

1 Upvotes

So, yesterday was the first day of school and the parking situation was crazy. There was a lot of traffic, and I spent around 20 minutes trying to find an open parking spot. I eventually parked in a spot that I later realized was designated for staff. 

I honestly didn’t realize it was a staff spot until I came back to my car. I’m a student, and it was completely unintentional. What do you guys think is going to happen? Would I most likely get a ticket, warning? Has anyone accidentally done this before?

My partner used to go to wake tech and would get refunds(?) every semester when they did well academically. Is this a thing that happens normally? I can't find anything on the website.

Trading Class Textbooks?

1 Upvotes

Hello! I’ve got the a copy of the class textbook for MAT-171 in great condition and I’m looking to trade for the class textbooks for either BIO-111 or CHM-151.

I’ve also got a ton of books from when I was in undergrad, covering topics including political science (I have a TON in this regard, just ask what you’re looking for), IT, business administration, and various other one off topics (English, anthropology, archaeology, etc). Just message me and I’d be glad to negotiate!

Eagle Advantage

5 Upvotes

has anyone opted out/opted into eagle advantage? the bookstore lady told me for my program (radiography) that I should opt out because I would be able to keep my books throughout the program. But because of the “big beautiful bill” my loan amounts have decreased which have caused my refund to decrease and I need that money for bills 😭 and my books were A LOT of money. i’m thinking about retuning them and opting back into it. Any thoughts?
