Online classes continue to be popular
Hancock College will offer nearly 130 online classes this spring for busy students who enjoy the flexibility and convenience that such classes provide.
With online classes, students can complete their coursework at home or on campus computers at their own pace, which helps accommodate work, family and transportation constraints.
Details about these and all other spring classes are available via the online Class Search; go to www.hancockcollege.edu and click the link on the home page. Most online classes require an orientation session prior to the start of classes.
Registration for spring classes is under way at www.hancockcollege.edu, and it continues through Jan. 21. Credit classes begin the week of Jan. 22.
Spring Community Education classes also begin the week of Jan. 22. Students can register online now for those classes or get registration assistance in person at the Community Education Department (Building S) on the Santa Maria campus.
