Mike didn't get into his Mon/Wed drawing class due to capacity issues. Apparently, due to the recession and subsequent budget cuts, there are some classes at the community college that were eliminated. Among these were the day drawing classes. Students that enrolled in the day classes were automatically enrolled in the evening class as default. Thus, what is normally an easier class to enroll in became near impossible and Mike missed the window.
If Mike doesn't find another Mon/Wed class to take then he'll be 5 credits shy of what we think is required in order to be accepted at University of Edinburgh. Thus, panic. However, we have a few contingency plans.
#1 Bellevue Community College has a Mon/Wed evening drawing class that started 4/6. We've got an email in to the instructor to determine if he has capacity for one more student. If so, Mike needs to enroll at BCC and register for the class.
#2 Mike may be able to enroll in Desi's Mon/Wed English Comp class, though the class is at capacity. The instructor did suggest that Mike join the class on Wednesday, just in case a vacancy occurs.
#3 Evergreen State College offers 8 and 12 credit evening and weekend classes that Mike may be able to take during the summer and fall to make up for these credits lost.
We also have an email in to the international student recruiter, whom we spoke with back in September, to clarify what the "one year's worth of credit earned within the last 3 years" actually means. Hopefully she'll say something favorable to our situation. But, until we hear back from her, panic. If Mike doesn't get these credits then our plan is pushed another year. Right now, that's not an option.
