Meeting times

I’ll be taking FHE 100, PHYS 261, and PATH 370 during my first term. I’m trying to give my employer my availability before my official schedule is released. Do you know approximately how many days per week I should expect to have required in-person or scheduled zoom classes? Thank you!

Tuition payment plans for current or past students ?

I’m currently in the process of wcu admission and I was wondering what current or past students have done for their payment plans. Is it possible to delay payments until graduating from the program? I spoke to a friend about their husbands payments and she told me they were able to pay the absolute minimum of 1 dollar a month until he graduated then continue with the regular payments (500+). Is that option possible ? I currently don’t work as I go to school full time but I plan to work part time as a CNA by the end of the year.

Parking at Manchester campus, OC

Hi everyone! Tomorrow will be my first time attending an in-person class at West Coast University’s Manchester campus in OC. I have a class at 8:00 AM tomorrow and another class on Thursday at 3:45 PM.
I’ve read a few posts saying that parking at the Manchester campus can be pretty limited, so I wanted to ask what parking strategy you guys would recommend.
For those two class times, would you suggest just driving straight to the Manchester campus and trying to find parking, or would it be better to park at the La Palma campus and take the shuttle over?
I’ve also heard that first-term students aren’t allowed to park at the Manchester campus. This is actually my third term at WCU, but my previous terms were online, so this will still be my first time attending classes there in person. I already have a parking permit, so would I be allowed to park at Manchester, or is there some other restriction I should know about?
I’ve also heard that WCU offers free valet parking at Manchester. How exactly does that work? Is it reliable, and do you usually have to arrive much earlier to use it?
Since this will be my first time going to campus in person, I’d really appreciate any tips on how early I should arrive and what usually works best for parking.
Thank you!

TEAS exam anxiety.

Hi everyone,
I’m really hoping to get into WCU OC, LA, or Ontario and I finished all my prerequisites with an overall 3.6 GPA. I have really bad test anxiety and I’m terrible at math, and it’s been a while since I’ve been in my science classes, a lot of the material I have to relearn. I’m wondering if the exam is really difficult and even with a low score (assuming the worst) they would accept me. I’d like some advice or suggestions if anyone has any. Thank you (:

Drug Testing

Hey guys, I’m going to have to drug test soon for clinicals next year. I don’t do any heavy drugs, but I am in the process of nicotine cessation. I was wondering if WCU tests for nicotine and when drug testing results need to be done. I just don’t want to get flagged for nicotine products when I’m already in the process of quitting.

proposed schedule

I’m wondering what people’s proposed schedule looks like for October term? I have their 3 classes I need to take there that are mandatory and also philosophy, but they have me doing 1 class each term instead of taking 2 at a time, so instead of 2 terms of GE I have to do 4 terms

Advice

Has anyone been through this or is going through this: was supposed to start core this term but they don’t have seat availability.. so now I have to withdraw from the university but I rely on the PPL to pay for school and withdrawing and applying again next term would cap it and I feel like everyone is being useless and not giving me an answer, does anyone know if it’s possible to retake a class you’ve taken before while waiting for a seat to become available just to stay enrolled?? Advisors are dodging my emails and calls it’s so frustrating.

**update**
They’re allowing me to retake another class to stay enrolled.. so if you go through this see if this is a last option for you

How’s the parking

I have my pathophysio class in person at Manchester in Orange. How is the parking there and what time does it usually get busy or full? I never been on the campus either but going to explore a few days beforehand.

I am also confused when I got my permit, saying first term students must park at the La Palma location. I’m not sure if that applies to me or not. Worst case if parking is full, do you guys shuttle or park near the area and walk?

Nursing core

Hey! I’m planning to start the next term in October at the Ontario campus, but I heard there may be a waiting list for the nursing core. Do you know if that’s true?

I’ve already completed all of my science and general education courses, so I should only have the three courses that are required to be taken directly through West Coast University: Foundations of Higher Education, Human Physiology, and Pathophysiology.

Do you know if they would allow me to take all three of those classes in the same term, or would I have to take them over separate terms before I can start the nursing core? I’m just trying to get an idea of how long it would take me to actually start the nursing portion of the program at the Ontario campus.

Speech

Hey there I’m sorry if this is a dumb question but I was curious if the text book for speech is required ? It’s a actual textbook not a ebook or anything like that; however, I’ve noticed looking through the assignments and stuff that I may not even have to get it :/ any answers are appreciated to save myself the money .
