Summer Semester at Monroe County Community College starts May 9; registration for current and new students gets underway Monday.
The semester runs through July 30, and wide selection of in-person, online and hybrid classes are available. Summer Semester classes are shorter sessions than 15-week sessions typically offered in Fall or Winter semesters – most Summer Semester classes are just 8 weeks.
"Summer classes offer many advantages," said Director of Student Success Gerald McCarty. "They are short and concise, offer smaller class sizes that allow more one-on-one time with the instructor, allow students to catch up from previous reduced course loads and bring students closer to graduation."
Summer classes also allow students to take more difficult classes because they can focus their energy on fewer classes to achieve a higher grade, he said, adding that research shows that students who take summer classes are more likely to graduate, and most graduate sooner with less college debt.
New or guest students -- guest students are those who are away from their current colleges or universities for the summer or another extended period of time -- should visit the MCCC Future Students webpage and select from the list of student types for necessary steps to enroll.
