Info about Calhoun Comm College Fall 2009

Hey girls.. I was accepted into the delayed progression and I have the same question: when do we regester for classes? does that happen on orientation?

I was previously told that the dept registers you, that the students do not register themselves. I dont know if that holds true for this year... but cant see why they would change that.

Congratulations to all who received acceptance letters.

i don't know what i'm going to do about the other classes...i still need to talk Micro, A&PII and all those other classes along with them...but i need to wait to see what time the nursing classes are offered... ha.

Moved to this area late last year, I graduated from LPN school in August 08. I applied to Calhoun for several different option for my RN. I just received an acceptance letter for the Spring 10 semester, but it states that I am an alternate applicate for the Fall 09 semester. What exactly does that mean? I just assumed everyone's letter states that and really what is the possibility of me actually getting in the fall? I choose the adn option because it is only 5 semester where as the career mobility is only 4. Not much difference there. Could someone just give me some info on how the semester work. I have taken all the non nursing classes. So I will only need the core nursing classes. Just need to know about what days of the week? hours? Currently, I work at a pediatricians office during the week. He plans to let me keep my job and go to school. So I would like to have an idea to give him a heads up at how many days a week I will be in school. Is it about three (3)?

Also, where is calhoun located at. I have applied, filled out financial aid, online. Never been to the campus. I quess I need to get an id. Also, the physical form, is there a time frame it must be done in? I got the packet but there is no time frame. Someone, please help me out if you have any of this info. I would greatly appreciate any info. I have called the nursing dept two (2) days in a row and I keep getting someone's voicemail.

It is difficult sometimes to get an answer if you call. I just always go up there. The offices are on the 3rd floor of the Health Science Building...

Calhoun is on Highway 31...Which way will you be coming? Like from the Limestone area or the Decatur area..I can help with the Limestone part.

The way I understand it is that if a certain number of people decide not to accept it for Fall 09, then they will move some of the spring poeple up...I am not totally for sure. So I would definitely ask someone to be sure...

***** ****** is usually who I talk to...She is very nice...you can look up her contact info on Calhoun's website she is usually there until 4:00PM.

I hope this helps some!! and congratulations on getting in

Oh, and as for the medical paperwork and stuff I'm pretty sure that is due by orientation.

The fall schedule is online. It looks like you have classes on M,T,W. I know clinicals don't start until 5 or 6 weeks into the semester and they are scheduled when you don't have class and even on Saturday for some ADN students in my Micro class.

Thanks for the help. I will give her a call. I just want to be sure I take care of everything so that I do not have any problems with enrollment.
