Academics

You will find no more supportive a learning environment than exists for you right here, and it is all built by caring professionals ready to enhance and support your studies. Advising, counseling, tutoring, and services for those with individual needs, all come together in Learning Support Services. From Blackboard's state-of-the-art teaching/learning technologies, the Bookstore's variety of supplies, the vast resources of the Wilkens Library, to the great people serving on the numerous program Advisory Committees, and those supporting your education through grant seeking and resource development, these Academic Resources are focused on student success.

ACADEMIC ADVISING
Each student is assigned an advisor, who helps you plan your academic program, make career decisions, and discuss academic concerns on a day-to-day basis.  Your advisor is also a resource person, directing you to other services on campus that can address your specific concerns. Academic advisement is also available in the Advising and Counseling Center during the day and evening.

WILKENS LIBRARY
The Wilkens Library will be an indispensable part of your learning experience. The dedicated, friendly staff will assist you with your information and research needs utilizing books, periodicals, electronic resources, and audiovisual materials. The CLAMS integrated library system, Internet access, and electronic research instruction are available to students both on and off campus. The Writing Center is there for YOU. Students receive advice through the college's drop-in advising center. When you can't quite grasp a concept, qualified tutors are there to help.

ACADEMIC COMPUTING FACILITIES
CCCC academic computing facilities consist of seven personal computer classrooms and laboratories. The attended open lab is available for registered, full-time and part-time students during school hours, from 7:30 a.m.until 9:30 p.m., while classes are in session. A weekend schedule is also available. 155 IBM-compatible computers support spreadsheet, word processing, database, graphic design and other course-specific software.

STUDY ABROAD
Our International Studies program allows 4Cs students the opportunity to study in countries around the globe. Students may participate in faculty led study tours or in semester, year long, or short-term programs through our membership in the College Consortium for International Studies. Additional short-term programs with CCCC faculty are also available.

CROSS-REGISTER
Full-time 4Cs students may cross-register at one of eight colleges in the Southeast Association for Cooperation in Higher Education (SACHEM) at no additional cost. A list of participating institutions is available at the Registrar's Office.
