Flexible Start Dates Classes Starting Soon

Flexible-Start Classes Are Available!

Even though the semester has started, you haven't missed out! Our flexible start classes begin later in the semester and offer people like you the opportunity to fit a semester's worth of learning into a shorter period of time-- about 8 weeks instead of 16 (check individual classes for actual length).

This means you can start your journey this semester instead of waiting until the next one! Students often also find the short-term classes easier to fit into their busy schedules or as a way to speed up their educational journey.

Don't worry, you're not doing it alone! With flexible-start classes, you will still have full access to the support and high-quality education ��˾�� provides to help you reach your long-term goals.

Explore your options and the support we offer then get started moving forward in your journey today!

How ��˾�� Supports Our Students

Financial Aid

Scholarships and grants are a great way to pay for school because they don't have to be paid back. At ��˾��, it only takes one application to qualify for multiple District scholarships, but we also have ��˾�� scholarships and grants.

The first step to securing funds for school is completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), and we can help you with that, too.

With so many free ways to pay for college, there's never been a better time to get your degree or certificate!

Technical Support

��˾��'s Computer Commons is available for free to all students. If you're worried about taking an online class, keep in mind that and we also offer loaner laptops to those who qualify. And we've got technicians on hand to help if you run into issues with any software available to ��˾�� students, including the Google suite of apps and Microsoft 365, with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and more.

All of our student services are available in-person via walk-ins or by appointment as well as online. So you can submit your application online, chat with Financial Aid, or meet a tutor on Zoom, WebEx, or GoogleMeet. No matter what your preferred method of interaction with our student support services team members, we are here to help!

Basic Needs

We know it's difficult to focus on your school work when your basic needs aren't being met. That's why ��˾�� has an on-campus food pantry and clothing exchange available by appointment, one-time emergency funds for unexpected expenses, and partnerships with local companies to provide things such as grocery store gift cards and financial assistance for those in need.

Remember that when things get tough, we're here to help.
