Has anyone in Colorado attended the electrical apprenticeship program through Emily Griffith Opportunity School and tried to transfer your credits to a community college for credit towards an associates degree?

I am currently taking classes at a local community college but I also want to attend Emily Griffith Opportunity school for phlebotomy classes. Would I be able to attend both during the same semester?
Top Answer:
You can do whatever you want outside the confines of any college or university - they don't run all your life, just a whole large part of it. :-)
If you're looking to get your college to approve the phlebotomy classes for credit, then arrange that ahead of time, definitely.
And of course, judge for yourself whether you can juggle the workload. Just because you can sign up for everything, doesn't mean you should. You have to be the best judge of that though - consult with counsellors at your school whether they believe taking on extra work is advisable for you in your specific case, I'd say.

Contact both the Emily Griffith Opportunity and your local community colleges for information./
