Financial aid seekers for summer must register by April 15

For those ready to graduate early or get a jump start into the education process, summer classes are the path to take. CSC offers many different classes that are linked to different majors.

“We want students to think about taking summer classes,” Sherry Douglas, senior director of student services, said.

Although many students do not want to take classes in the summer, it gives them a head start and opens the possibility of graduating early. Many students only think about what classes they can take in the fall and spring semesters, and often forget that they could be taking classes throughout the year to be ahead of the game.

“We encourage students who want to graduate early to take this path,” Douglas said.

One thing that not many students know is that financial aid is available in the summer. Students should registered for summer classes by April 15 in order to receive financial aid. If students want to take summer classes they can find the list of summer classes available through CSC. Go to www.csc.edu/summer or go to the CSC homepage and click on  “Accelerate Your Education.”

For undergraduate and graduate courses, eight week one and four week one sessions begin May 12; eight week two and four week two sessions begin June 9; and four week three sessions begin July 7.
