Learning Communities
Make a Connection! As a student at SJC, you have an
opportunity to enhance your learning experience by
enrolling in pairs of classes called learning communities.
You will join a group of other students who will take
these two courses together, which are often organized
around a common theme. You can learn to build connections
between subjects and with fellow students.
Instructors of the two courses work together to connect
content, activities, and assignments.
Listed as LCOM courses, learning communities can be
identified in the Schedule of Courses under both subject
areas or in the section labeled Learning Communities.
These two classes are co-requisites, so you have to
enroll in both to be in the learning community.
