The spring term starts Jan. 11. Classes are filling fast and advisors encourage students to sign up as soon as possible. The first term ends Dec. 15 and three and a half weeks later the spring term starts. According to the current head count for next term, there is already a 17.6 percent increase of students enrolled compared to last spring.

A majority of the classes are already full, forcing DMACC to open extra sections of certain classes as well as adding new courses to the list.

One new courses being offered in the spring term is the Leadership Development Studies class, a three credit course taught by Stacy Amling and Nancy Woods. It is geared towards being more hands on for resume building and leadership skills. This class counts as an elective.

There is also a Conservation Biology class taught by Tim Bergin that is four credits and includes a lab. This is in the category of student's general science class.

The advisors encourage students to sign up for classes as soon as they know what they need. "If you haven't made out your schedule, use the Web Info System if you are worried about getting into certain classes and make an appointment later on if you need adjustments," said Shelby Hildreth, the academic advisor for the DMACC Boone campus.

If students are transferring from Iowa State University, there are some important things to remember. "ISU students need to be flexible and open to evening classes," said Hildreth. "They need to be willing to take classes that fill requirements and not just what you want."
