I'm nearly finished with my application process and I've passed everything so far (yay!). I'm applying for night academy but I'm wondering if its possible to take classes during the day? I'm not sure what to expect from the work load out of the academy and I don't want to get overloaded but I still need to get my 30 credits before I graduate so that I'm ready for hire once I've graduated.

It depends on the Academy.

If you are going full time (40 hours per week), trying to add any college coursework to that load will make you do both very very poorly.

When I went through the Academy, the night class was "part time" and was about 22 hours per week total. Most everybody worked full time in that class, and you could have fit some college in that schedule.

Haha yeah probably not. I was hoping to fit in 2 classes per semester and just pick online easy classes I can use towards my degree.
