Summer classes at Volunteer State Community College are starting earlier this year, May 21. The change comes with new summer class terms. The college is offering three-week, six-week, and twelve-week classes. The reason is to have less overlapping of class terms, which allows students to take more classes, and earn more college credits over the summer. The different session lengths, and start dates, are designed to fit around family holidays and other summer events.
The first option is a three-week session class. There will be four of those sessions during the summer, with classes starting on May 21, June 11, July 2 and July 23. The start date for first six-week and twelve week classes is also May 21. The second six-week term starts on July 2. The short term classes, three and six-week, are held several hours each day, and are more intensive. The twelve-week classes are held less hours per day, and are more like a traditional semester-long class. The summer semester ends on August 10. Summer classes are offered in-person, online and in a wide variety of subject areas. There are no orientation requirements for summer courses, which makes applying and then registering easy.
