Daytona State summer sessions looming large; classes start May 18 and July 1

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (April 24, 2015) – Daytona State College registration is moving fast
toward summer classes that start May 18 and July 1.

Current and new students should sign up soon to assure a seat, says Dr. Richard Pastor, vice president for student development. “Last minute can be too late if a class is full or, if too few students sign up,  not offered,” he advises. It’s also a great time to sign up for DirectConnect to UCF at Daytona State, he adds.

There are two sessions of summer classes; 6-week and 10-week classes start May 18, followed by a second 6-week session starting July 1. Many classes are offered online including:

• Principles of Computer Programming (COP1000)
• Microcomputer Applications (CGS2100)
• Computer Spreadsheet (APA1711)
• Biological Themes in Film (BSC2930)
• Priciples of Global Marketing (MARC2011)
• Introduction to Medical Assisting (MEA0005)
• Keyboarding and Formatting I (OST1100)
• Basic Office Procedures (OST2401)
• Personal Health and Wellness (PET2084)
• Introduction to Political Science ((POS2001)
• College Resources (SLS1101) – taken concurrently with Introduction to Composition (ENC1101)

While the region’s high school seniors prepare for June graduations, it’s a perfect time to get a head start on college with summer classes, adds Pastor. “New high school grads can get ahead now with a few courses toward their college degree, and still have time for the beach and summer jobs.”

Plus, it’s a perfect opportunity for university students home for the summer to take general education classes at DSC and save money and time.

“It’s also a great time – with short summer terms – for adults seeking job advancement, skills updates or a fresh start with a career program at Daytona State,” says Pastor.

Daytona State offers short semesters and a selection of more than 100 courses toward degrees or certificates this summer. Applying to DSC is easy; and advisors can help with choosing courses or a major, as well as how to apply for financial aid and scholarships.

DSC’s Admissions offices welcome visits on campuses, as well as calls, (386) 506-3059, or emails, Admissions@DaytonaState.edu.

Next up after summer sessions: fall semester starts Aug. 24; students can enroll now for fall.
