Distance Education
Paying for classes
Southwestern’s distance education classes are assessed at the current tuition
and fees listed in the Schedule of Classes published each term and online at
www.socc.edu/admissions/tuition.html
Note: Other Oregon community colleges individually set their tuition and fees which
can vary per credit hour.
Purchasing textbooks
Books can be ordered online using a credit card at www.socc.bkstr.com or
students can call the Bookstore at (541) 888-7264. Students taking an online course
provided by another Oregon community college must order books by contacting the

Student services
• Academic advising
Advising is vital to the process of course selection and program planning. Any
student who is enrolled full-time, pursuing a degree or certificate program, or receiving
financial aid should have an academic advisor. Students can contact Educational
Support Programs and Services (ESPS) in Stensland Hall at (541) 888-7371 to have
an advisor assigned to them.
The advisor will assist students in choosing the classes that apply to their selected
certificate or degree. Academic advising for the Curry campus is available by
appointment through the local offices in Brookings, Gold Beach, and Port Orford.
• Disability Services
The mission of the Disability Services for Students Office (DSS) is to create a
barrier-free environment, to support and celebrate the uniqueness and individualism
of students, and to challenge stereotypes and myths about disability. For more
information visit www.socc.edu/serv_resrc/disability/.
• Library Services
Many library services and electronic databases are available online to all
Southwestern students, whether on or off campus. When not on campus, a
current COASTLINE library card is needed to access most of the databases and
request books/media and articles. Students can visit the library website at
www.socc.edu/library/ to apply for a library card and to get a list of services
and information.
