College of the Canyons is set to begin summer classes with four sessions — including a full online-only session — aimed at helping students better achieve their educational goals, according to officials.

The 2018 summer session schedule includes seats for more than 20,000 students spread across over 750 sections of high-demand “core” classes in a wide range of academic subjects and disciplines.

The courses are expected to begin on June 4, with classes taking place at both the Valencia and Canyon Country campuses, as well as online.  

The majority of the class sections offered are aimed at fulfilling courses that most students need to either graduate or meet prerequisites for transfer to a four-year school.

Summer provides an excellent opportunity for incoming students to get a jump start on their coursework before the start of the fall semester in August, according to officials.

In addition, a number of elective and exploratory courses — which students often use to help determine their desired educational or career track — have also been included in the 2018 summer schedule.

“This year’s summer session offers a wide variety of classes that fit the diverse needs of our students,” said Jerry Buckley, assistant superintendent and vice president of academic affairs at the college. “We are very excited to offer a summer session that is entirely online to help accommodate the needs of students who may be working or traveling during the summer.”

The courses are also open to high school juniors and seniors who want to take advantage of the course offerings to earn college and high school credit while taking classes at COC with waived enrollment fees.

The college’s first five-week summer session will run June 4 to July 6.

A second eight-week summer session will begin June 11 and run until August 3.

The third summer session, which runs from June 18 to July 20, will be held entirely online.  

A final five-week summer session will be offered from July 9 to August 10.

High school students (11th and 12th grade) can begin registering May 23, 2018.  

A final late registration period for all students will begin May 29, 2018.

Summer 2018 enrollment fees at all California Community Colleges will remain at $46-per-unit, as mandated by the state of California.
