MSJC to offer comprehensive summer schedule SAN JACINTO – Summer school is back at Mt. San Jacinto College. MSJC plans to offer students more than 200 classes during summer this year. This is the first robust summer schedule MSJC has been able to offer since California’s recession resulted in funding cuts that forced MSJC to drastically reduce summer classes. The recent economic rebound has helped restore some funding and enabled MSJC to offer more summer classes.
The comprehensive schedule will include the high-demand classes, like basic skills, courses required to transfer to four-year institutions and career and technical education classes. Summer classes will be held at the San Jacinto and Menifee Valley campuses and the Temecula Education Complex, which will offer some evening classes. No online sections will be offered during the summer to allow for upgrades and maintenance of software and hardware.
MSJC will have two summer sessions. A six-week session runs from June 23 to July 31. The eight-week session runs June 9 to July 23. Priority registration for veterans, disabled and continuing students starts on April 21. Please schedule an appointment now to talk to a counselor about your education plan. A schedule of classes will be available in early April. For more information, visit www.msjc.edu or call the Eagle Access Center at (951) 487-3311.
