The average weekend student is 33 years old, works part-time and is returning to school after an absence of two years or more. A very motivated student conceivably could earn up to 18 credit hours going only on the weekend. To accomplish that level of acceleration, a student would need to attend two classes per day each day of the weekend. Some student services are available on the weekend, especially on Saturday. College level tutoring is the only support service available on Sunday and Friday evening.
Plans are underway to increase flexibility, acceleration, and accessibility for weekend students.
One of the upcoming changes will involve students being able to earn specific degrees and certificates going only on the weekend. More exciting changes are in process to make Weekend College more responsive to the needs of adult learners. For more information, you may contact us through voicemail, e-mail, the phone or by visiting the office which is located on the second floor of the College. Appointments are suggested for in person visits. Brochures are available.
