A Message from the President…<br />
Welcome to the spring <strong>2013</strong> semester at <strong>Barstow</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong>. Our faculty,<br />
staff, administration, and board <strong>of</strong> trustees are committed to helping you achieve your<br />
educational and career goals. Whether you are taking classes that will prepare you to<br />
transfer to a four-year college or university, enrolling in one <strong>of</strong> our many career and<br />
technical education program options that will enable you to enter the workforce—or<br />
to be re-trained to enter the workforce—with a satisfying career, or seeking to<br />
enhance your academic skills, BCC has something for you.<br />
We <strong>of</strong>fer students flexible course scheduling, with full-semester- length courses as well<br />
as short-term classes. Our course start dates are staggered so that students have the<br />
option <strong>of</strong> enrolling at different times during the semester. Recognizing that students<br />
have varying learning styles, have preferences for particular learning formats, or have<br />
time and/or distance constraints, students at BCC can enroll in online classes,<br />
traditional “live” classes, or hybrid classes, which are a combination <strong>of</strong> online and live<br />
formats.<br />
Thom M. Armstrong, Ph.D.<br />
President/Superintendent<br />
I encourage you to visit and talk with our pr<strong>of</strong>essional staff in the Norman Smith Student Services building or at BCC’s<br />
satellite campus, located in Building 285 at Ft. Irwin. They will be glad to help you identify your educational goals, assess<br />
your needs, and make recommendations that will help you be successful; however, due to state budgetary cuts to community<br />
colleges that have reduced the number <strong>of</strong> classes that can be <strong>of</strong>fered, and given state-mandated priority list registration, be<br />
sure to plan ahead and have all <strong>of</strong> your “matriculation” steps out <strong>of</strong> the way so that you are able to enroll in classes as early<br />
as possible in the enrollment process. Although student fees at community colleges have increased in recent years, an<br />
education from a California community college remains the best educational value in the country. Student Services staff can<br />
advise you <strong>of</strong> the many state and federal programs that exist and can help provide you with tuition waivers, financial aid,<br />
textbook purchase assistance, and child care, should you qualify.<br />
As a student at BCC, I also encourage you to explore the many opportunities that exist to become involved in student<br />
activities, such as clubs, organizations, and athletics. Participation in extra-curricular activities enables you to get to know<br />
other students, and enhances your overall educational experience at the college.<br />
I welcome you to <strong>Barstow</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong>, your community college. I wish you much success as you pursue your<br />
educational journey.<br />
