Hello,
Do you mean "Undergraduate" Courses. Not graduate courses?
For this I will assume you do mean Undergraduate. It is tough to balance school during the day and work at night. Have you tried online school. These are just as reputiable as any state school as long as it is regionally accredited, most of your classes will transfer over.
You should also check out the UC you want to go to. Chances are they have online courses you can attend.
Give me a little more information on what your quesitons is and I may be able to help..
FYI I am an education advisor for the US military and worked in career education prior to that as well.

hey thanks for the help
im trying to do a UCSD transfer system in which if i take the creddited courses and pass with at least a C, i am guarenteed into the school.
And to transfer over i need 60credits which is usually 15 credits a semester...
This is where I messed up in which i had 4 classes but am now down to 2 so thats only about 7 credits for this semester....
And right now Im trying to add my classes but they are all full
and also im trying to make my classes in the daytime so i can work night time to cover my rent.....
I have no help from my parents and I really want an education
If you can help that would be great
I suggest you talk to your advisor at your college. The advisors at your CC will be much more knowledgeable about transferring from your specific college to another one. Any of us posters here are really just guessing at what would work.

Very good advice from Toobusy. Getting some ideas here might be helpful in a general way, but no one here knows the details of your situation, so no one here can give you anything better than speculation about what might work best for you. College advisers will know more about how a specific plan would work out.
I do have a thought that does not involve an immediate answer to the question of what your next move should be, but which still relates. This is that you seem to be putting a lot of pressure on yourself. I'm guessing that you are of traditional age to be starting college--late teens or very early 20's--in which case you have plenty of time to get through school and get established in a career. You might do well to consider easing back and not trying to take a full load of credits while also supporting yourself financially. Along the way, you can re-assess your situation occasionally, to determine whether the best balance between work and school hours might have changed. I realize that you most likely want to forge ahead as quickly as possible, but if you were to overload yourself and fail classes as a result, it would actually end up taking longer for you to finish school than it would to limit yourself to as many credits as you could handle along with the hours you work to support yourself, even if this might mean cutting back on credits.

Did you fill out a FAFSA to get financial aid? I think there's a way you can file so you don't have to include your parents.
If your counselors are busy at the moment, set up an appointment.
Also a tip: When your reading through a textbook or book, take notes. If you take notes beforehand, and study them, that means you have two chances to learn the material. Once at home, and once in the lecture.
hey thanks everyone for ur input!
I waited about 3 days to talk with the counselor
and got everything plannned.
Dropped 2 but added 2 more so back to 3 classes and i might take another one online.
first priortiy is to find a job!
thanks everyone!
