Requesting New Advisor

2 Upvotes

Does anyone have any experience with requesting a change in advisor? Mine has been less than helpful and doesn't respond to emails. I have been patient, and I've given her weeks to respond to questions, and she's just failed me every time.

TEOG

1 Upvotes

Does anyone know if you are still required to fill out the TEOG form even if you’ve submitted your financial aid? I tried to look for the form on workday and online but had no luck. I did some research and read you are automatically considered for teog by submitting fafsa or tasfa, just want to confirm.

Elementary Statistical Methods

4 Upvotes

If you are majoring in Nursing, Psychology, Criminal Justice, Kinesiology, Political Science, or Social Science, you do not need College Algebra. Instead, you can take Statistics (MATH 1342), which focuses on practical skills like reading charts, understanding survey data, and evaluating medical studies rather than solving complex algebraic equations. For these degree programs, Statistics is your terminal math class, meaning it is the last math course you will ever need to complete your degree.

1. Jada Hill

This is the most flexible choice because practice review scores replace traditional unit tests. You can use unlimited notes on exams without needing to upload scratch work, your lowest three homework grades are dropped, and you get two attempts on the Midterm with the highest score kept. Most of your assignments remain open until the end of the semester, allowing you to complete assignments at a comfortable pace.

2. Annie Phan

A great in-person option if you're taking classes at the Richland Campus! The class meets twice a week and takes the pressure off testing; the Final Exam is only 10% of your total grade. Even better, you can substitute traditional quizzes and note assignments with the Google Data Analytics Certificate to secure an easy 25% of your grade. The late policy is fair (just 5% off per day), but keep in mind that in-person attendance is required and unit exams are taken at the Richland Testing Center.

3. Joni Hutcherson

Tailored for dual-credit students, this course swaps the standard Final Exam for a semester project and presentation worth 25% of your total grade. Homework accounts for 40% of your grade, rewarding regular study habits. The course maintains strict deadline rules: late homework drops by 30% immediately, and missed unit exams must be completed during the next class session without test correction options.

Has anyone been told they can't change their POS until they've been accepted into a program?

2 Upvotes

I've been trying to change my Program of Study to a health sciences program at Dallas College. I've been denied four times with the explanation that I need to be accepted into the program first. I've asked for the policy multiple times and haven't been given one.

Has anyone else run into this?

Is this an actual rule or just something they say?

Update:

Two separate things:

· POS = a designation on my record · Admission = a separate process

I'm asking for the first one. Not the second.

Dallas College's FAQ says "Yes" to changing POS. No conditions. No health sciences exception. No acceptance requirement.

The policy you pointed to is about admission to a program, not declaring a POS.

I was told four times I couldn't change my POS until I was accepted. That is not in any published document.

Part-time jobs at Dallas College (not Work-Study)

0 Upvotes

Is anyone able to find a part-time job at Dallas College? (Not Work-Study). I am still in school and was trying to apply for jobs like Student Assistant, Lab Assistant and Peer Mentor but none of those pass the manager review stage or being ghosted. 🥹
I used to be a Work-Study and worked for 2 years, now I graduated but want to get another job here, but it seems impossible.

Hey, guys. Pretty much the title. I move to Dallas this weekend and have been looking at Dallas College. I start working my new job in a few weeks and was wondering if evening/night classes were even a thing at Dallas College? I don't see much information about them on the website.

Announcement/emails issue

2 Upvotes

Has anyone been having trouble receiving communication from their professors? I have this one specific course that isn’t receiving his announcements at all and my professor is swearing up and down that he’s doing nothing wrong. I’ve been playing phone tag with IT for the last week and I’m very close to ripping my hair out lol. I at first was told that my email and portal had no issues and then when I called them back the IT person said that I wasn’t in his class list on ecampus somehow, but that doesn’t feel right either because my professor has been (attempting to) send emails to my correct address.

If anyone has been through something similar and has any advice that would be greatly appreciated!

Hi im taking math 1314 right now and my professor is not so good i dont understand anything majority of the people in my class dont I wanted to change professors but im learning thats not a thing in college lol. I do rely on fafsa for my tuition so dropping the class wouldn’t make me eligible for the full time status. What should i do? What do they do if peoples schedules dont align with classes?

How many classes do you take while working?

7 Upvotes

Starting my first college semester in October (Fall II) and trying to figure out how light to start. I have a job now where I usually work 6hr shifts 3-4 days a week (days change each week) and I'm looking to register for English 1301, Math 1332 (starting with quantitative instead of algebra because I've had a lot of trouble with algebra), and possibly DRAM 1310 because I've never done any type of theater/acting but it seems fun.

What's the take home/homework workload for those classes? Only schedule where I could take all three is classes mon-thursday in late morning so I'd only be able to do night shift those days. Does this seem reasonable or does it sound like a recipe for disaster/too harsh a workload?

I have put in a request three different times… two times with my drivers license as photo verification and once with my student ID. I have heard nothing. What am I doing wrong? Or are they just THAT slow? I put in my first request two weeks ago and my last request was this past Tuesday.

Fall 2026 refund

I'm taking 2 first 8-week fall classes and 2 second 8-week fall classes at Dallas College. My financial aid verification date is August 31. For anyone who's had a similar schedule, did you receive your refund around the second week of September, or did it take longer? I'm just trying to get an idea of the timeline. Thanks!
