URock Offers “Late-Start” Courses

Mon, 09/15/2014 - 8:30am

Busy work schedules, family responsibilities, and fluctuating life situations can make it difficult for people to begin college classes at the start of the traditional fall semester. For those who couldn’t begin classes in early September, University College at Rockland offers a selection of university online courses that begin in October.

University of Maine System campuses offer more than 20 “late start” online courses. These courses cover the same amount of material as the 14-week courses, offer the same number of credits and satisfy the same requirements for students working toward a degree or certificate. Because the courses are online, students should work with an academic advisor to make careful selections.

Fall 2014 October course subjects include computer information systems, business, nursing, art, psychology, human services, education, information technology and more.

“Late-start courses work for people who need flexible scheduling, including many adults who can’t enroll in classes before their children return to school in the fall,” said Deborah Meehan, Director of University College at Rockland.

Registration for October courses is open and ongoing. For more information or to register, contact University College at Rockland at 596-6906 or visit this web page: http://learn.maine.edu/blog/news-and-events/university-college-offers-late-start-courses/.  ­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­
