COMMUNITY SERVICE PROGRAMS

In addition to credit courses, special non-credit courses reflecting community interest
may be organized at the request of a sufficient number of interested persons.
Individuals may pursue these special offerings for personal enrichment, for compliance
with business or industrial opportunities and/or requirements, for specific technological
information, and for general cultural benefits. Students taking non-credit courses
are not required to follow the same admissions procedures as those students in degree
courses.
The Community Service Program of the college includes a variety of activities
which are offered in cooperation with community groups and agencies. The program
offerings are in accord with the public’s needs and interests and include lectures, clinics,
tutoring, short courses, conferences, forums, concerts, fine arts festivals, workshops,
institutes, self-development functions, and community development functions.
The college welcomes the opportunity to meet with representatives in our community
(e.g., educational, governmental, industrial, and business organizations) to plan special
types of training or activities that might be beneficial to an organization or our community.
