Where are evening classes held?
Classes are offered for your convenience at various sites throughout South Carolina, including Gaffney, Greenville, Columbia, Charleston, Florence, and Aiken. Most of our students enjoy the small evening classes because they are able to receive the one-on-one attention they deserve. The average evening class size is about 16 students. The small classes offer more opportunities for class participation and individual attention.
What is the evening class schedule?
Classes usually meet on Tuesday and Thursday evenings each week face-to-face and once a week online. Each evening class session meets for an hour and a half, for a total of 16 sessions. At some sites, courses are also offered Monday and Wednesday nights.
Classes are eight weeks long and two courses can be taken at the same time. If desired, a student can take classes on the internet and in the classroom simultaneously.
I’ve never taken a class online. What is it like?
Courses in the Internet program have the same content as the traditional classroom courses. The only difference is that the course material is delivered within a virtual learning environment called Blackboard. All of the information for the course – lectures, assignments, discussions, exams and more - is housed in the online learning system. Once you have enrolled in an online class, you will receive Blackboard training and your log-in information.
In online courses, there are no specific times that the student must be online, but normally the professor will have specific “office hours” available for discussion with students. The student will be required to take online exams with a proctor who is approved by the College.
