Registration is underway now at El Camino College for six-week and eight-week summer sessions, which begin June 20.
At a time when some California community colleges have already cut summer sessions completely due to budget cuts, two sessions are available at El Camino College, featuring day and evening classes. Course offerings range from transferable general education classes to career technical education and basic skills classes. Online courses are also available.
Many students welcome the summer session as an opportunity to take needed classes in a relatively short period of time. In addition, a growing number of students like Morgan Andersen are enrolling in El Camino College summer courses to take advantage of the $26 per unit fees. A fee increase of $36 per unit begins Fall 2011.
“I registered for a Spanish class and a history class – I figured I could take care of two general ed classes at a lower price this summer, before the fall increases,” said Torrance resident Morgan Andersen, an ECC English major who plans to transfer to a university in Fall 2012.
“Last summer I took a math class. I like the summer session, I can take care of classes quickly and still have time to work and make vacation plans. I also liked how the class went at a faster pace. When you are there every day for two or three hours, you learn more material and it sticks with you.”
Students may register online at any time – just go to www.elcamino.edu and click on MyECC. Financial Aid is available for qualifying students. View the class schedule here.
