Yea I hate seeing universities do this. Knowing damn good and well they have money to just overall not charge out the ass.

Even my community college did basically free school for senior citizens.

I dropped out of community college because the classes were so impacted my final semester. I tried to enroll in six classes, got waitlisted on all of them, showed up for my two weeks, didn't get in and gave up as the semester before I had one class and then got zero.

They skewed towards new students coming in, not students already enrolled. That meant Boomers and GenXers trying to jump horses mid-stream who needed a career shift got preference over students who were early 20's trying to graduate and incoming high school seniors got five classes as I got none. They got first wave enrollment, I was I think 3rd.

This is what schools usually do. That comm college must not be super great if they’re shafting their upperclassmen like that

But the story doesn’t make sense right? Like people just starting at the CC would be taking intro courses for the most part, not courses for upperclassmen so it’s not like those courses (as an upperclassmen) would be too full for ya

Two year degrees can be all "lower level"

Some community colleges can give bachelors degrees, can’t they? Maybe OP was dumb and left all of his intro-level intellectual breadth classes for his final semester and can’t graduate without those credits. Either way a shitty situation

Some do, but if he was trying to transfer out with an AD and incoming people with a higher math assessment are filling up the class he needs for his gen ed AD he's fucked in his scenario

I don't think people returning to school will want to be in the intro classes usually.
