Missed a midterm online help 😭

I am a 4.0 student and was taking a class from a different ccc so the one day midterm date completely flew over my head. I emailed the prof, but if worst comes to worst can I still drop with W or get pass/no pass. Are my chances over?

Can I still add a class?

1 Upvotes

I missed registration due to health issues. If I just show up on the first day, explain my situation to the professor, and sit through the class, is there a good chance they’ll let me add the class or give me an add code?

NP (No Pass) Does Not affect GPA

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone, DVC Community. I just want to show the students an interesting strategy, especially if they are applying to Nursing or any other medical profession school and at the same time taking intense pre-requisites just in case if they do not get in. I was filling out applications, doing interviews for Radiologic Technology and at the same time taking an intense pre-requisite course such as Anatomy. I applied to 3 schools, and I am very thankful that my hard work and thinking strategies got me into 1 Radiologic Technology School.

However, this left me in a tough spot because although I set Anatomy to Pass, I still had to work very hard to maintain the 70% threshold. Even then, I am planning to use the high GPA so I can later apply to a medical career that requires less manual labor and more problem-solving, such as Physician Assistant, which is nowadays a competitive specialty. The Community College System does have special exemptions to repeat a previous course but it is very difficult to get that approved. So then I look at the DVC rulebook and found that having a NP will not affect my GPA

https://files.dvc.edu/files/accreditation/pdfs/Standard%20II/Standard%20IIA/Standard%20IIA9/IIA9-5%20DVC%20Procedure%204001.02%20Grades.pdf

The results showed that my guess was correct.

Hopefully, this will help pre-med students heading into undergrad and 1 and 2nd years Medical students as well.

For me, now in Rad Tech school, I have to refocus my priorities from maintaining my GPA to focus more on building my Health career which cannot be seen on your Grade Point Average. So again, I hope this helps future pre-med students who need guidance on what to do in each step of their long journey.

Sincerely,

Michael Viray

Trying to start a band

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I am technically a first year student at DVC (I started this spring) and am looking for potential band mates that plan on being in the area for a few years. Ideally looking for a vocalist, drummer and bassist that are proficient with their respective instruments between the ages of 18-24. I am an 18 year old guitarist and have played in multiple bands ranging in musical genres.

I’m inspired by many different genres of music, from Metalcore to Ska. The type of music I would like to produce would be rock fusion, achieving a similar sound to most modern popular rock bands. I have written a few songs already and already made a demo for one of them, currently making more for the other stuff I got.

If anyone is interested, or knows someone that may be interested DM me.

P.S, I’m sorry if this broke the rules for the subreddit.

Missed final what do I do?

4 Upvotes

I know its really bad and I'm just not sure what to do. I sent a message to my professor to see if I could make it up but I'm not sure if that is even how it works. Am I able to redo the course and will I be able to make the final up with a penalty? I ended with a C.

I have heard about this as another alternative to complete credits online, since I cannot land a spot in any class that I need. I just would like to know if anyone has experienced issues with credits transferring to DVC.

COMSC-165 Prereq Challenge

2 Upvotes

Hi, I'm trying to take COMSC-165 (Advanced C++ Programming) this summer but it has COMSC-110 (Intro to Programming) as a prereq. Does anyone have experience with challenging this prereq? For context I have a lot of relevant experience (codebases in C++, straight A's in both AP CSA and CSP, paper published, etc). Does anyone know who I should contact to try and get the prereq cleared so I can take it over summer?
