About Prerequisite Requirements (Microbiology)

(I tried to find the right forum, but this is the closest I could find.)

My community college offers two kind of microbiology classes. I'm not sure what the difference is, but one is 4 units and the other is 5. On the website of the college I'm planning on transferring to, it says that the approved course for the nursing program is the one with 5 units.

The problem is my college only offers ONE section for the microbiology class with 5 units, and it's full and there's no guarantee I'll be able to get in even next semester. On the other hand, the class with 4 units has PLENTY of sections. Does anyone know if you definitely have to take the approved course or is there any way to petition for courses with similar content?

I know I'm rambling, but yeah. Help?

you should contact your nursing department for any questions regarding your query....you also can do your micro at another college...that is what I did...just make sure it is the approved course and it's transferable.

all the best :)

Spicy, I moved your thread to the Nursing Student Assistance forum where the potential for responses is greater. First Year in Nursing attracts mostly nurses who have graduated in the last year or so and are now finding out what they've gotten themselves into.
