Fall registration is under way at our Southwest Colorado Community College locations in Durango and Mancos, and officials are encourage prospective students to sign up for classes now. The start of fall classes is just over four weeks away - all classes start Aug. 24. But SCCC is encouraging students to hurry in and register before Aug. 7 to ensure a space in their classes of choice.
Besides having increased options of open class sections, dates and times, registering now instead of later has other benefits for both continuing and new students. Early registration also helps students avoid the stress level of being part of the hectic, late enrollment rush.
Making an appointment with an adviser at either campus is encouraged, but walk-ins are also welcome.
Additional information about enrolling, advising and registering procedures is available by calling Mancos campus at (970) 564-6200 or Durango campus at (970) 247-2929 or at www.enrollsouthwest.org.
SCCC offers guaranteed academic transfer classes and associate's degrees. In addition, the two-year college offers degrees and certificates in cosmetology, law enforcement, fire science, EMT, radiologic technology, MRI and CT, medical assistant, welding and automotive service technology. SCCC also offers programs to become a certified nursing assistant in just five weeks and in three semesters a student can become a medical assistant with a certificate or degree. SCCC also has a popular registered nursing program.
