I'm not surprised. Most of the CCs dramatically pared down Winter Quarter offerings and I know any of the big prereq classes (she teaches Calc or Calc II right>?) have been HAMMERED. My former students who are at a CC are pretty depressed, especially the one who had been accepted to Berkeley who's parents wouldn't let her go because it was too far. @@.

My friend is a dean at NVCC and they are way oversubscribed, and the state is cutting their budget.

If I remember correctly, about half the math classes at SMC were cut. My peeps at Berkeley are pretty depressed, too, but they are better off.

Students! I can't figure them out
Yep. They look all grown up but they still think like teens sometimes.

Did you know I still get angry at random intervals on that girl's behalf?

K-Bug has to take a Nutrition class as a prereq for her major, but Sonoma State doesn't even offer the class. She can take it anywhere else and they will accept the credits, but crazy.
She also got a bad grade on her Anatomy class last semester and she wants to retake it, but she can't retake it at Sonoma, the classes there are so full that space is not given for retakes, so she will have to look elsewhere.
One of her roommates had to pick up a German class because nothing in her major or any of her GE classes were available and she needed enough units to maintain full time status and be able to live on campus.

Suzi-
This is weird to say, but my office offers online undergraduate nutrition and anatomy classes- they are the FastTrack classes here and they are not just for nurses... [link]

She has found a nutrition class, but I'll send her the info about anatomy. Not weird to pass on the information - isn't that part of what we do here?

Er...8 am is definitely business hours.
I disagree, even in California I wouldn't assume that, but if she called at 7:42 am, she's the one who threw the social rules out the window.
Our sales are up 10-15% this year over last. There are definitely a lot more people interested in going to (or back to) school.

I didn't want to sound like a salesperson!
With regard to school- our 1 year nursing program for people with a BA or BS is crazy full of applicants. Like 200 - 300 applicants for 40 seats. And we literally have no more classrooms or office space for more instructors even if we could accept them all.

Yikes Erin, I wish you two well. Unfortunately, I don't know anything helpful for that situation.
