You do not have to attend during the summer semester. However, it is important that
you check with your counselor before making the decision not to attend. There are
some specific programs, particularly in the health field, that require summer attendance.
There are also some courses that are only offered during the summer. If you decide
not to attend in the summer semester, this may delay your graduation.
You must be enrolled in at least 12 credit hours to be considered a full-time student.
Is full-time status necessary?
You do not have to attend SCC full-time (12 credit hours). However, maintaining a
full-time status allows you to earn your degree in a timely manner. We understand
if you are unable to attend full-time, but we encourage students to do so whenever
possible. Please note there are some financial aid programs and health insurance companies
that require students to maintain full-time status.
You should visit Admissions Counseling Services to request a program change. This can be done on the Giles Campus or an SCC campus site convenient to you.
