It's important for students to know the important Academic Calendar dates and deadlines in each academic semester or term. For example, did you know that the college
- Offers classes that can be taken in 3 weeks (wintersession), 6 weeks (summer session), 7.5 weeks (micromesters in fall and spring), 10 weeks (e.g., for college seminar classes) and 15 weeks? And that each term has its own dates and deadlines that you need to know?
- Lets you enroll in classes that meet on Saturdays or Sundays only?
- Always posts the spring and fall Priority Registration dates so enrolled students can register early and get the schedule you want and need?
- Post a date by which you may submit a course withdrawal form to be guaranteed a W on your transcript?
And did you know about the state census roster date?
- Around the fourth week of each 15-week semester (and earlier for shorter terms), professors have to indicate whether or not each student has been attending classes; if you haven't attended during that time frame, you can be removed from the course for lack of attendance. Don't let this happen to you! Always communicate with your professors if something is preventing you from being present in class—whether it is an on-campus or distance education class—especially early in the semester so we can help you.
Always check and mark important dates from SCCC's official Academic Calendar.
