Registration is underway at New River Community and Technical College for a special winter session, Dec. 17 through Jan. 11.

Students can earn three hours of general education credit through online study over the course of four weeks.

“The session gives college students an opportunity to get ahead in their studies, get caught up in their program or fulfill a prerequisite requirement prior to the start of the spring semester,” said New River CTC Vice President of Academic Affairs Dr. Richard Pagan.

Online classes offered during the special session include: Microsoft Office Applications, English Composition; English Research, American History, Introduction to Fine Arts, Algebra, General Mathematics, General Psychology and Principles of Sociology.

Winter session courses are as comprehensive as semester-long courses, so students should not enroll if they are planning vacation time during the holidays. Students attending other colleges or universities should check with the registrar’s office at their institution regarding transferring credits.

The deadline to register for winter session at New River CTC is Dec. 17. For more information, visit www.newriver.edu, email admissions@newriver.edu or call 1-866-349-3739.
