It’s Not Too Late to Register for Fall – Late Start Classes Coming to South Suburban College September 21st


SOUTH HOLLAND, IL–Registration for the Fall Semester at South Suburban College is still in progress for a wide range of “Late Start” classes. Current and prospective students are encouraged to register soon for these 12-week courses, set to begin September 21, 2015.

Prospective students should get started with the Online Application at www.ssc.edu. Becoming a student is simple, and there is still time to apply for Financial Aid and speak with Admissions staff and counselors. Once the application process is complete, new students will receive an SSC email account and a “My SSC” Username & Password via email which will allow access to student information and class registration. The “My SSC” portal also allows students 24-hour access during college closed periods. Both interactive and printable Spring Credit Class Schedules are also accessible online from www.ssc.edu.

The Late Start classes are offered in a variety of subject areas including Accounting, Art, Building Construction Technology, Biology, Business, Community Health Worker, Computer-Aided Design, Computer Information Sciences, Court Reporting, Emergency Medical Services, English, Health Information Technology, Foundations for College Success (OCS), Mathematics, Manufacturing, Medical Assistant, Music, Office Administration & Technology, Pharm Tech, Philosophy, Physical Education, Psychology, Reading, Sociology, Spanish, Speech, Study Skills, Teacher Aide/Child Development, and more.

Payment is currently due at the time of registration for Late Start classes, but Financial Aid can be utilized for the 12-week credit classes (FAFSA must be completed by September 14th). SSC’s Financial Aid Office encourages all students to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as early as possible at fafsa.gov using institution code 001769. For help filling out FAFSA, please call (708) 596-2000, extension 2242 or stop by the Financial Aid Office (Room 2355) for assistance.
