Curriculum classes at SCC are normally scheduled to last for sixteen
weeks, called an academic semester. At times, especially during
the summer, some classes are offered in abbreviated sessions. In
developing the curriculum class schedule each semester, SCC tries
to provide as broad a schedule as possible to allow for students'
needs. Classes are generally available beginning at 8:00 a.m. on
weekdays and continuing through the evening hours. Some are also
available on weekends. Most curriculum credit classes are taught
on the college campus in Dobson. Some are offered at off-campus
sites, and some are even available through television via the Public
Broadcasting System and on the Internet.
SCC encourages students to take as many or as few classes at a
time as they like. Some daytime classes may meet only two or three
days each week; others meet each day.
Evening classes usually meet one or two evenings per week. In
deciding upon a schedule, students need to remember that study
time outside of classroom hours is an integral part of academic
success.
