Frequently Asked Questions
What if I can't make the first class?
Weekend classes are intensive: you cover a lot of information
in a short period of time. Because of that, you need to plan ahead,
note the dates, the days, and the times your class meets, and
make sure you can attend all of the sessions.
What happens if I miss one class?
Depending on what the class is and how long it runs, missing one
session can sometimes mean the difference between passing and
failing. Check with your instructor to find out.
Will I need a textbook?
Some classes use textbooks, other classes don't. The best
way to find out is to call the bookstore (303-914-6323) with the
name of the course and the section number. The bookstore staff
will be happy to assist you.
Is registering for a Weekend College class
different from registering for other classes?
No, it's not. However, to make sure you register for the
class that meets on the weekend, check the section number. At
the Lakewood campus, the section number for all weekend classes
is 601, and at the Arvada campus, the section number for all weekend
classes is 621.
When is the latest date I can drop a Weekend
College class and get a refund?
Drop dates differ. Check the date listed next to your course on
the website.
How many Weekend College classes can I take
in one semester?
You can take as many classes as you can squeeze in, just as long
as the dates for the different classes don't overlap.
What happens if I've signed up for
two classes whose dates do overlap?
Some classes do have overlapping dates. However, since over 120
weekend classes are offered during both the spring and the fall
semesters, with a fewer number of classes offered during summer
semester, you have many classes to choose from. To avoid any conflicts,
do some checking before you register: simply look at the start
date and the stop date of each class you want to take and make
sure they don't overlap.
What's the difference between a Weekend
College class and a "regular" class?
Weekend College classes are held on weekends! So if you work,
if you have a family, or if you just want something fun to do
on Friday nights, Saturdays, and/or Sundays, Weekend College
classes are for you. You can work on a college degree or just
take classes for fun. Or maybe you want to brush up on some
skills you need for your job. Whatever the class is, and for
whatever reason you're
taking it, you can be sure the class you choose will be more
intense. Whether it runs for fifteen Saturdays, six Saturdays
and Sundays, or three weekends, it will require that you complete
all of your homework assignments and attend each session. And
don't
be surprised when you discover you're having a lot of fun,
meeting new and interesting people, and gaining confidence as
you learn useful and important information. |
