I am taking pre-pharm classes... so... my schedule looks like:
General Chemistry Lab 1
General Biology Lab 2
English Composition
Intro Humanities...
That's all I have now.

Four classes is considered 12 hrs. 12 hours is full time. Since you are working part time I suggest 12-15hrs (4-5 classes). Also, examine which classes you are taking. If they are a bunch of intro classes you will be fine. If you are signing up for calculus and physics maybe you take a lighter load.

If your are receiving financial aid they may require you to be enrolled as a full-time student, which means at least 12 units. Different classes are broken up unit wise differently so it depends on the classes you take, I took three classes last semester, Calculus 5 units, Spanish for Spanish Speakers 5 units and Biology 4 units, the total was 14 units in three classes...and it also depends on how much time you plan on being at the CC, if you have to transfer to a UC or Cal State within a certain amount of time, I would consider that too.

4 classes is usually about standard. You should really look at credit hours more than number of classes. There's a big difference between a 4-5 credit lab course and a 2-3 credit elective. Try to keep it around 12 credits if you want to be able to maintain good grades. You may think you can handle more, but you'd be much more likely to have lower grades than someone taking a few less credit hours. Good luck! Community college is the way to go, in my opinion! :)

Talk to your advisor. If you are hoping to transfer to a four-year college after completing community college, you want to make sure that you are on-track and taking the right courses. Usually, a full-time load is a minimum of four classes, but five is the usual, and you probably need 20 classes to get your associates degree.

Science courses are typically intense even by themselves let alone both bio and chem within the same semester. If you are working part-time (even if you weren't ;) it may be too much taking both science courses with the amount of studying and memorizing that one must do for each. Please do consider taking one or the other (I found bio easier but to each his own), at least for the first semester to gauge how your schedule works out with the courseload.

You are part-time, anything less than 12 hrs is considered half-time

I would take 4 or more! I work full time, have 3 kids and I took 21 credit hours this fall. I would NOT recommend that but somehow I managed. lol
