Welcome to
SCCC! This is an exciting time for you as you begin or come back to finish your college degree. We hope that we can help
you take advantage of all the wonderful opportunities and services that SCCC offers.
Returning Adult Students are very welcome at SCCC. The average age of our students is about
27 and the average age of our part-time students is 33. In addition to all of the services that are offered to
all students we do try to make things somewhat convenient for our returning adult students. In addition to
courses during the day, we offer an extensive evening schedule, Saturday and on-line classes. Many of our
campus offices offer evening hours during most of the year to fit your busy schedule.
We offer a unique on-line club called Restart for our returning
adult students. Our club members are diverse in age, marital status, parenthood, gpa, majors and work
experiences.
The Restart Club offers you an online support network accessed through
Yahoo Groups. The club offers a great way to share advice/information and
learn about SCCC resources and events.
The online format allows you an easy way to contact other students for their support,
encouragement or guidance to help you navigate your way through college. Examples of
topics covered include advice about courses, information on important dates (example
scholarship opportunities and deadline dates) and tips for success from experienced
SCCC students.
To join this club please contact the club advisor, Margaret Anne Williams at
381-1337 or williama@gw.sunysccc.edu
Advising services for full-time students are available through an
assigned faculty advisor. Part-time students can utilize the Advisement Center/Student Development
Office in Elston room 223. The Student Development Office also provides career counseling and
personal counseling services. For more intensive information on the different services that are
offered, please see the separate sections in this guide.
