I am in 2 yr tech school for Network Specialist.My advisor has gave me 2 classes, one is Operating Systems and other is Comprehensive Database tech.Well I looked at programs of study for Network Specialist and Comprehensive Database Tech is not on their....I was wondering if Advisor either messed up, all classes r full so he gave me another class that has alot of credits, or what?

Can someone help? I also cant get a hold of advisor at school neither.

I would take the Comprehensive Database tech course. Being able to manage database servers is a valuable skill. It probably counts as an elective.

All that said, without knowing all the details of your curriculum, it's hard to offer much besides my experiences as a two-year college teacher. Often, courses can be substituted, and yes, sometimes there are no open courses that you are qualified for that are required courses.

You should ask your adviser this question, or even another adviser. This is probably the only way you will know the real answer of why he put you in that class.

With that being said, how long have you been in school? If you have been in school for 1.5 years (for example) you may be on a different curriculum track than the current one. This could be one reason for a difference in the assigned class and what your course document states you need to graduate. It could also be an elective or substitution as WP stated above.

In any case, ask your adviser! I wouldn't want to sit (and pay) for a class that wasn't needed and didn't offer any credit hours towards a degree.
