CNC is adding 10 new classes due to a huge demand in several of its core courses for the Fall 2010 semester in an effort to reduce waitlists.
Sections have been added in English, Criminology, Anthropology, Psychology, Computer Science, Aboriginal Studies and Business in an effort to get as many students as possible into classrooms this September.
“It’s exciting that this growth is happening and our cohort programs are full and that our arts, science and business are growing,” said Dr. Don Precosky, Dean of Arts, Science and Business. “We need students who are on waitlists to visit the admissions office or call 250-561-5867 and register.”
Additional classes have been created in Criminology 101 and 103, three sections of English 103, Anthropology 101, Psychology 101, Computer Science 109, Aboriginal Studies 101 and Marketing 152.
The extra classes mean the college is adding 250 seats. Additional part-time instructors are in the process of being hired before classes begin Tuesday, Sept. 7.
“This year, we’re already ahead of where we were at Labour Day in 2009,” said Precosky. “It’s due partially to the economy and partially to the reputation of the college.”
CNC’s Trades Division is also adding a second class to its Electrical Foundation-level program that begins Sept. 7. The 20-week program prepares students for the electrical apprenticeship program.
With its first class of 16 already full and another eight students on a waiting list, the decision was made to add the second class.
“We’re asking students who are interested in the electrical program to submit their applications to the admissions office as soon as possible,” said Frank Rossi, Associate Dean of Trades.
