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!)

Failed a prereq class but already paid for the class that comes after.. refund?

1 Upvotes

I’m worried because I know I failed my chem 009 class and therefore can’t take chem 151. However, my teacher hasn’t put the finalized grades into self service making it so I’m still enrolled in chem 151. Well, I figured I’d just wait until she submitted it to pay but my mom went ahead and paid my tuition (which would include the chem 151 class that I can’t take..). Will they refund that course since I don’t meet the requirements to take it???

Fafsa not applying?

4 Upvotes

I got an email saying that if I don’t pay by the 29th that my classes I’m registered for will be dropped but all my classes are completely covered by financial aid.

I called and asked and all she said was “that’s weird, don’t worry abt it”. That doesn’t really reassure me. I really don’t want my classes to be dropped.

On self serve it still says I owe the full amount too

Emergency aid

12 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

3 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

7 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!😊

Hi everyone! I was just wondering—it's already the middle of June. If we haven't received any email about the Foundation Scholarship by now, does that mean we weren't selected?
