San Diego community colleges will be offering 200 additional summer session classes starting in June, bringing the number of total courses back to pre-recession levels.
The San Diego Community College District, which includes City College, Mesa College and Miramar College, will begin offering the classes on June 1.
“After years of budget cuts, the district is pleased to be able to restore our summer session to where it was before state budget cuts,” said SDCCD Chancellor Constance M. Carroll in a statement. “Our students rely on summer classes to accelerate progress toward graduation and/or transfer. Many university students also attend our colleges over summer to enroll in classes they need for their bachelor’s degree. In either case, the result is increased student access.”
Four summer sessions will be held over the summer. One will start June 1, then June 8, June 15 and July 6. In addition to the for-credit classes, the San Diego Continuing Education will offer free, noncredit classes until Aug. 22.
The San Diego Community College District serves approximately 100,000 students annually.
