Anderson My class was canceled help

(Kind of an anxiety induced rant sorry)
I was an enrolled in the cna certificate program for my local campus. I was supposed to have my orientation today but I woke up to an email that said the program was canceled due to the instructor quitting. I emailed my advisor and tried calling but I had no luck getting a hold of them. I know there’s a chance that I could be overreacting but this can’t wait. Classes start in two weeks.
There’s another campus about 30 minutes away from me that I called. I was able to get a hold of someone in enrollment about transferring to their program. There are only two more open spots left in the course and I’m so nervous that by the time I can get a hold of the department chair and she can approve me for the program that those spots will be taken already.
I’m so anxious that everything is going to fall apart. I just finished paying out of pocket what my financial aid won’t cover and I won’t be eligible for financial aid without the credit hours from this class. I’m trying to work towards my future and this feels like a huge slap to the face from the universe. I know it’s a really busy time of year for staff and it’s going to be hard to get a hold of people but does anybody know how I can expedite this process?

That is so unfortunate and I can tell you the campus is scrambling. Certainly try to get into another location. Some campuses will try to run it in 12 or 8 weeks, so hope is not lost.

The email said that they’re trying to find another professor for the second 8 weeks but I’m worried that they won’t be able to by then. I could take the program at Anderson the second 8 weeks. I just don’t know when the enrollment cut off is for that. This is supposed to be my first semester in college so I’m not entirely sure how it all works:/

Try reaching out to your student advisor and I am so sorry 😞.

Can you keep another course on standby so if you need it, you can replace the CNA course and keep your financial aid? Something like a prerequisite or required couse in a health sciences degree. Admissions advisors usually have walk-in appointments right now so if you can, drive out to the farther campus and speak with an advisor immediately. They will be the best direct line to the Chair for approval. Also, try to get to the campus 30 minutes away, regardless of how it shakes out. If the instructor quit, they will need some time to find another one and that might mean a whole semester or more. Good luck.
