* Dates will be different for less than full-term classes. Contact the Records Office for assistance.

Summer Session

Summer sessions are posted by campus site in the summer schedule, on the Web, and at the Student Records Offices. Classes will not be held on Monday, May 31, 2010, for Memorial Day break, and on July 5, 2010, for Independence Day break.

Special Sessions

Based on student interest and need, a variety of courses may be offered for different lengths of time and at various locations. Please refer to your local campus tabloid or contact your local campus.

Registration

Registration may be conducted any day the college is in session. It is important to receive an approved program of study from your adviser prior to registration. The registration days indicated on the calendar are designed to handle registration to begin a scheduled fall, spring, or summer session. Seminars and workshops will be scheduled and dates published as needs indicate.

Class Schedules, Meeting Days, and Meeting Times

Class offerings and start dates are published in the campus class schedule. Special courses and workshops are scheduled on demand and are advertised accordingly. In addition to pre-registration, students can register on or before the first day of class. Students enrolling in individualized courses can begin any day the college is in session with their adviser's approval.

Closings

Each campus publishes radio and television stations on which college weather-related closings are announced. Considering the size of the college service area, it is often difficult to get an accurate report on the weather conditions overall. In any situation, the best judgment and information available will be utilized. However, in the final analysis, each person should use their own best judgment regarding weather conditions and their ability to drive to campus safely.
