Personal Schedule
Before beginning classes, the Encore Coordinator will counsel you on course selections and arrange for a placement profile to determine the course levels for which you qualify. You may choose any combination of courses normally available to students at your level equal to a full-time credit load of fifteen units. Weve found that students who set clear-cut goals accomplish much more in a limited amount of time, so the Coordinator will assist you in defining the results you wish to achieve.
