There's Still Time to Register for Fall Term at CCAC-Boyce Campus

CCAC classes start Aug. 22 and Sept. 6.

Anyone interested in attending the Community College of Allegheny County still can register for the fall term.

Registration will remain open through Aug. 20 for 15-week courses beginning Aug. 22. Students must enroll by Sept. 3 for the 13-week “late start” semester with classes beginning Sept. 6.

Nationally, almost 40 percent of the college student population is made up of adults going back to school, compared to 6 percent in 1980. Another 3.4 million older students are enrolled part-time, many training for new careers or upgrading job skills in the current challenging economic climate, according to a CCAC press release.
