Ask for the whole timetable
Request a sample schedule covering every term, including labs, examinations, clinical work and placements. Check whether evening availability applies to the whole program.
Check the completion sequence
Find out which courses are prerequisites, when they are offered and whether taking fewer classes delays later requirements.
Plan around work and care commitments
Include travel time, homework, practice and contingency for a changed shift. Ask about attendance rules and making up missed practical sessions.
Confirm the financial effect
Changing enrollment intensity can affect costs and aid. Ask the financial-aid office to model your actual schedule rather than a full-time example.
