On October 16, 2023, Danville Community College (DCC) will begin its second 8-week course offerings for students who wish to complete their courses more quickly, pick up an extra class, or for those who may have missed the August deadline for 16-week fall semester classes.
“Our second session classes give our students the opportunity to complete their degree or program on their own timeline,” said Dr. Jerry Wallace, president at Danville Community College. “By offering these 8-week courses, we add flexibility for our students to get the courses they need, in a way that best suits their lifestyle and style of learning.”
A wide variety of 8-week classes will be offered, with many being core classes that students need for most programs.
“We will continue to stay committed to expanding access to education,” said Dr. Cornelius Johnson, Vice President of Academic Affairs and Student Services.” The Second 8-week Session is one of many ways to meet the scheduling needs of our students”.
Danville Community College offers robust financial aid options including grants, scholarships, and wrap-around services to ensure that most students are able to attend classes at no out-of-pocket cost. Assistance is available to students who may be struggling with non-academic barriers, like food insecurity and childcare.
“We know that meeting the needs of our students, educationally and in their everyday lives, plays a huge role in their ability to remain enrolled and eventually graduate, “said Wallace. “All of the aid programs we offer, combined with our scholarships, make it possible for nearly all our students to receive financial assistance with their tuition. Many students attend with no out-of-pocket cost and often receive assistance with books and supplies. We also offer access to our food pantry, career closet, and emergency aid fund to students in need.”
