Change is an important part of education, which is why modern community colleges and universities are constantly evaluating their policies and procedures to further the growth of their students. Southeast Community College is committed to creating a culture where students can grow, which is one of the reasons they decided to switch from quarters to semesters. Here is a little more information about this transition, and why you shouldn’t worry. 

Understanding the Transition from Quarters to Semesters

Why Did SCC Change from Quarters to Semesters?

community collegeOne of the biggest reasons Southeast Community College decided to change to a semester-based system and away from a quarter calendar is because over 90% of colleges nationwide operate on a semester calendar. Many of the top transfer schools SCC works with use semesters instead of quarters, making transferring and scheduling easier for students. Additionally, since semesters are longer, it gives students more time to study material, improving learning and course outcomes. 

Will Semester Tuition Cost More?  

While it is true that tuition rates are subject to increase from year to year, the team at SCC is committed to keeping tuition prices affordable for students, whether you live in Nebraska or you are an out-of-state student. The per-credit cost of tuition will remain the same during the conversion to semesters. If you have questions about financial aid or how the conversion to semesters will impact your tuition, a financial adviser can guide you.
