As the Fall semester
comes to a close, students at Alvin Community College can now look ahead and
sign up for spring classes.
ACC is now offering
courses at 15 locations including the recent additions of night courses at the
JB Hensler College and Career Academy, University of Houston Clear
Lake-Pearland and Shadow Creek High School.
“Our evening credit
offerings at JB Hensler are primarily focused on technical courses such as
culinary and EMS while Shadow Creek courses are academic courses such as
English, math, science, and others,” said Dr. Cynthia Griffith, Vice President
of Instruction. “These college courses are specifically planned for traditional
community college students, although Dual Enrollment students may also choose
to enroll in these classes as an addition to their daytime high school
schedule.”
Over the summer, ACC
signed an extensive articulation agreement with the University of Houston Clear
Lake-Pearland.
“We offer credit courses
at our UHCLP location during day and evening hours in the fall, spring, and
summer semesters,” Griffith said. “These offerings are focused on general
academic courses for university transfer and apply toward many of our degree
plans.”
Spring registration is
open until January 7. Registration with a $50 fee will be from January 8-15.
Classes will begin on January 14.
Prior to registration,
students in need of advising can visit the Admissions Office at the ACC campus.
Meeting with an advisor can help a student ensure that they are taking the
right classes to meet their educational goals, said Regan Metoyer-Peterson,
Advising director.
“I cannot stress enough,
the importance of meeting with an advisor prior to registering for classes,”
she said. “Our advising staff are trained to know what courses will transfer
and fulfill program requirements at other institutions. Most academic
classes will transfer to Texas public colleges and universities however, how
they transfer is the key.”
While students can now
sign up for the spring, there is still also time to register for the three-week
Holiday Mini Semester. The payment deadline for the three-week semester is
December 6. Registration with a $50 fee will be December 7-10. Classes will
begin on December 10.
Students can also apply
for Financial Aid for the Spring semester. Applications are accepted throughout
the year. Students may meet with Financial Aid advisors if they need
assistance.
To visit with an advisor
or to learn more about Financial Aid, students can visit the Admission’s Office
on campus at 3110 Mustang Road. Hours are 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday and Tuesday
and 8 a.m . to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Friday.
