SCOTTSDALE COMMUNITY COLLEGE
SUMMER 2013 eSCHEDULE
Developmental Education
Developmental classes are classes
numbered below the 100 level.
They provide students with the
knowledge and skills required for
college-level work in reading, English
and mathematics. Placement testing
determines which developmental
classes are required.
National studies indicate that students
enrolling in a course after the course
has begun are less successful than
students who enroll before the first
class meeting. The achievement gap
is even larger for students enrolled
in developmental education courses;
therefore, SCC has eliminated late
registration for developmental
education classes. Students must
attend the first class meeting.
Check out SCC's Developmental
Education newsletter for innovative
ways SCC faculty is supporting
student success.
Learning Communities
Learning communities link two courses
in ways that meaningfully connect the
content of each course. They also
connect students and faculty in a
collaborative effort of teaching and
learning that may extend beyond the
classroom walls. Methodologies used
in learning communities may include
experiential learning, collaboration,
active participation, critical thinking,
thematic or problem-solving projects
and reflection.
Special Learning
Student Internship and
Cooperative Education
Opportunities
These learning opportunities combine
classroom theory with supervised
work experience in which students
earn college credit for planned
growth in a career-related position.
The student applies knowledge
gained in the classroom to the work
experience under the guidance of
the job supervisor and a faculty
coordinator.
Special requirements for students to
participate in Cooperative Education
include:
• Have a declared major
and completed at least 12
college credits
• Have a minimum 2.6 grade
point average
• Be concurrently enrolled in or
have completed at least one
class related to major
• Be employed or have an
internship that directly relates to
your academic and career goals
• Have authorization to work in
the U.S.
For more information on Internships
or cooperative education learning
experiences, contact the SCC
academic department of the course
prefix/subject in which you wish to
receive credit.
