 Do I need to apply to SCC in order to take your classes?                Return to top of this page

For the Center for Business and Industry programs, admission to SCC is not a prerequisite to enroll in classes. Where undergraduate credit is optional (usually for an additional fee), admission is not necessary if enrolling for less than eight credits per term.

What is the difference between a credit and a non-credit course?     Return to top of this page

When you sign up for a Center for Business and Industry course, you may be asked to choose between a "credit" and a "non-credit" registration option. Here are some important distinctions to help you decide which option is best for you.

If a course is taken on a credit basis, it may be applicable as elective credit towards a degree or certificate program at SCC or at other institutions. In order to determine eligibility, you’ll need to confirm this with the administrators of the degree program that interests you.

Non-credit courses are short-term classes offered through the Center for Business & Industry. They are intended for students who want to gain general knowledge, learn a new skill, upgrade existing skills or develop personal interests. Upon completion, students receive a certificate of completion from the College.

Another important difference between the credit and non-credit options is Federal Financial Aid eligibility. ALL non-credit classes are not applicable toward a degree. An important difference is that Federal Financial Aid is not available for non-credit classes.
Some employers require students to take a course for credit in order to qualify for tuition reimbursement. Check your employer's reimbursement policy if you think this might affect you.
