Allan Hancock College is offering more than 180 online classes during its fall semester, the college recently announced. The classes are designed to offer students the flexibility of completing courses at their own pace at home or on campus computers. Both credit and Community Education/Spectrum courses are offered online.
Some subjects for credit courses include accounting, business, computer office technology, economics, history, math, philosophy, Spanish, and more.
Fall priority online registration for credit classes continues through Aug. 28. Registration for Community Education online classes begins July 3, and students must register at least one week before the classes start. They run from Sept. 15 to Oct. 22 and Oct. 20 to Nov. 26. Registration deadlines are Sept. 8 and Oct. 13.
New students must first apply for admission to the college in person or online at hancockcollege.edu.
Students who register for online classes are asked to use their Hancock e-mail address—not their personal e-mail address—to communicate with their instructor and classmates. All students are given a Hancock e-mail address when they apply for admission to the college.
Students who don’t have Internet access at home can use a computer at the Santa Maria campus’s Admissions & Records Office (Building A), or at the Lompoc Valley Center’s Learning Resources Center.
Most distance-learning credit classes offer an orientation session before classes start. Orientation details are available via fall “Class Search.”
For more information about registration, including orientations for online classes, call 922-6966. Information about Community Education registration is available at Ext. 3209.
