How can I convince otherwise?

I'm not sure if this is the right section, but I'd consider it generic

Okay, so I've recently just finished college (HS in US), midway through completing my CCNA, and have asked the university (that I will be attending) whether I can register for CCNP classes in the second year, I was denied, being told that CCNP is only available to those enrolled on postgraduate courses.

Is there any way that I can convince the lecturer/instructor to allow me on the course? Or should I not be considering a CCNP until I've gotten experience? Or should I just use the classical self study approach?

Finally, what are your recommendations for after my CCNA (certification wise of course)?

Thanks,

For your own sake, I'd put it off until you get a job where you're going to actually be using the information. There is no professional reason to take it this early if you have no experience.

So I should consider getting more Associate level certifications? Such as Voice, and Security once I'm done with the CCNA?

What do you want to do and what will you be using?
There are microsoft, linux, comptia, systems, servers, cloud, virtual, security, forensics, IPS/IDS and more - certs out there.
See what can you use and will benefit you right now, grab that.
