SCC offers educational opportunities for first-time college students, transfer students, returning learners and high school juniors and high school seniors who are graduating in December who want to get an early start on taking college classes.
In addition to quality academic programs, SCC provides support and resources to encourage student success that include financial assistance, scholarship options, a free on-campus tutoring center, veterans' resources, accessibility services, career guidance, a child development center and a number of clubs, activities, sports and events.
“Enrolling in classes is the first step to getting the education or degree students need,” said Chris Breitmeyer, vice president for academic and student affairs. “SCC prepares students for careers that are in demand, or to transfer to a four-year institution.”
Many students enroll in general education courses that transfer to a four-year institution, but career degrees and certificates that require only 12-32 credit hours to complete are also available for those wanting a quick entry into the workforce. These degrees and certificates are in the areas of art, business administration, business technology, computer science, computer-aided drafting, criminal justice, education, global culture, human services and health care.
College officials encourage students to register early to ensure they get the class schedule they want. To register for the spring semester, visit stchas.edu/DiscoverSCC or call 636-922-8000. Academic advising is available by appointment (stchas.edu/appointment) or through Express Advising in Room 1204 of the Administration Building. The college is located at 4601 Mid Rivers Mall Drive in Cottleville.
Tuition is frozen for the 2014-15 academic year. SCC's classes are $95 per credit hour for in-district students, $143 for out-of-district, in-state students and $215 for out-of-state and international students.
