Just learning about the Sunday College option at Mid-Plains Community College? There’s still time to enroll.
Registrations are now being accepted for the second eight-week session of SundayCollege, which begins Oct. 25. The classes offered are: MATH 1150: College Algebra and ENGL 1020: Expository Writing II.
Students enrolled in Sunday College attend classes on Sunday afternoons and early evenings. They complete coursework online on their own time the rest of the week.
The classes are available at all of MPCC’s six campus locations, McCook, North Platte, Broken Bow, Imperial, Ogallala and Valentine.
Sunday College students take two classes the first half of a semester then two more classes the second half. They also take a class during the winterim, the short period between terms.
The program has proved extremely popular so far.
“Our first eight-week session was very successful with strong enrollments,” said Dr. Jody Tomanek, area vice-president of academic affairs and North Platte Community College. “We are hoping to see those same trends continue during the second eight-week session and into the spring term.”
A student enrolled in Sunday College might be closer to degree completion than the 24-month schedule. MPCC’s Sunday College allows students to transfer previous successfully completed coursework into their new degree program.
If the college is accredited, and the completed class fits into the Sunday College degree requirements, it doesn’t matter when or where the class was taken. A certified transcript from the former institution is all that is required to transfer in completed coursework.
The total cost of earning an associate degree through the Sunday College option is approximately $8,000. That takes into account tuition, fees and books.
Because students registered in the new program are considered full-time, scholarships, tuition waivers, federal financial aid and grant opportunities may be applied, reducing the cost.
Registration is limited. Openings are still available at each of MPCC’s campus locations.
