VGCC offers Fall Mini-Term Classes


Although the Fall 2015 semester at Vance-Granville Community College is well underway, there are actually still opportunities to register for a variety of classes offered during “mini-terms.” These sections start later but end on Dec. 14, at the same time as the full 16-week courses, and they include just as many hours of instruction as under the traditional schedule.

The Fall 12-Week Mini-Term begins on Tuesday, Sept. 15. The complete list of courses is available by visiting schedules.vgcc.edu and clicking on “12-Week Mini-Term Schedule.”

VGCC has scheduled more than 40 curriculum classes on the 12-week schedule, most of which are offered online. The courses include not only College Transfer general education courses in subjects ranging from Biology to Sociology, but also courses required for degrees such as Business Administration, Early Childhood Education and Office Administration. Several Criminal Justice courses are scheduled, including some that are part of the new “Vanguard Online Learning through Technology,” or VOLT, initiative, which allows students to complete an entire associate degree online.

There are also a few courses offered during the Second 8-Week Term, which starts Thursday, Oct. 15. The complete list of these courses is available by visiting schedules.vgcc.edu and clicking on “Second 8-Week Mini-Term Schedule.”
