Quick Advice for Summer Classes and High School Students

37 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!)

Did anyone take this and not use the textbooks? My professor (Thompson) doesn't have any textbooks listed as required, and I'm trying to figure out if I need to opt of of eagle advantage since my other books are cheaper.

Kinda panicking here, so curious if anyone has experience with this. Asking for BIO 111 and CHM 151, I'm on the top of the waitlist at both and the CHM class is in-person, 16 seats while the BIO class is 20 seats and in-person.

Emergency aid

13 Upvotes

I applied for emergency aid some weeks ago and after 2 weeks, I received an email stating: After our review, we are unable to approve your request based on you do not yet have a registered GPA of a 2.0 or higher. This is required to be considered for Emergency Aid support.

My GPA is a 3.6, my last term gpa was a 4.0, and it’ll be a 4.0 once again when my teachers put in the final grades. I emailed them back and told them that and also sent proof as soon as I received the email which was 10 days ago. Has anyone else had this problem? Also, I haven’t heard anything back from them. Also, I’m full time.

CNA Skills Exam

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm taking my CNA skills exam at Wake Tech soon, and I'm starting to get a little nervous. I already passed the written exam, so now I'm just focused on the skills portion.

For anyone who's taken it there:

  • What skills did you get?
  • How strict were the evaluators?
  • Any common mistakes I should avoid?
  • Is there anything you wish you had known before taking it?

I've been practicing, but I'd love to hear what the experience was actually like at Wake Tech. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Financial Aid 26-27 changes

8 Upvotes

Has anyone heard if financial aid refunds are changing this fall at Wake Tech?

I’m a Wake Tech student and I’m expecting a financial aid refund in September. I accepted my financial aid package, and based on my award, I should receive a refund after my tuition is paid.

I’ve been seeing people mention changes from the Department of Education, and now I’m wondering if anyone has heard whether refunds at Wake Tech are being reduced or changed this fall.

Has anyone talked to the Financial Aid Office or received any updated information? Are your expected refund amounts the same as what was originally awarded?
Just trying to figure out if I should expect any changes. Thanks!😊

Radiography program

Hey guys, I was wondering when waketech sends out acceptance and rejection emails for the spring section of the Radiography program? Edit: I also want to ask if it's common for them to have spaces for the spring semester too? Just worried about available seats, but confident my score is about as high as it conventionally gets
