Remember that enrolling in a DE class is the responsibility of the STUDENT.  We cannot enroll students in a community college course.  The community colleges offer Zoom help sessions.  We can only offer guidance and limited support.  Reach out to Diana Dysthe for assistance at dianadysthe@burbankusd.org.

Suggested DE courses for NAF Academy students:

Counseling 020:  Great first class for 9th & 10th graders but open to ALL grade levels. This course introduces students to the role of higher education in society and to their role as students.

Emphasis is on the significant financial decisions facing each household during its life cycle, including budgeting, record keeping, consumer purchases, credit, home ownership, insurance, investing, retirement, and estate planning. Students should be at the point where they have experience with earning and spending money. This course is rigorous but will teach you extremely valuable life skills. Every single person will make money and need to support themselves.  This class is so important for your financial success.  Don't hesitate.  ALL NAF ACADEMIES should consider this class - it's NOT just for business academy students.
