Plan Your Time

Most career preparation programs are in session throughout the year with four breaks between quarters.

Starting times of classes and daily class schedules vary.

General schedules are in the Programs section of this catalog and class times are listed for each quarter in the quarterly Schedule of Classes. Students usually attend classroom and laboratory sessions for six to eight hours each day to complete their career training as soon as possible.

  • Take a placement/assessment test.
  • Meet with a counselor/advisor to design your Educational Plan.
  • Complete the Admissions Application.

To Take Courses Not Leading to a Degree or Certificate:

  • Non-degree seeking students have access to and are encouraged to seek the assistance of counselors/ advisors to discuss career pathways.
