Hard to believe fall quarter is here when the temperature is still getting into the 80s, but it today is the first day of school. This is orientation for new students. Tuesday/Thursday and night school classes start tomorrow. Monday/Wednesday/Friday will start on Wednesday and on-line is available now.
Don’t forget — you must start your classes by the first day of the second week of school (Monday or Tuesday). If you don’t, you will have to wait until January to start classes.
We look forward to working with each of you this quarter. Just let us know if you need anything!
HJC is considering moving to a 4-day a week class schedule. With this plan, classes would meet on Monday and Wednesday and Tuesday and Thursday. Although it wouldn’t change the Tuesday/Thursday schedule, it would change Monday/Wednesday classes.
Monday/Wednesday classes would now meet from:
1st period – 8:00 am – 9:40 am
2nd Period – 9:45 am – 11:25 am
3rd Period – 11:40 am – 1:20 pm
4th Period – 1:30 pm – 3:10 pm
There would no longer be a 5th period class on Monday and Wednesday.
In addition, the college would consider adding a Friday block class. This class would meet only on Friday and would last for 3 ½ hours. The tentative schedule would be from 9:00 am – 12:35 pm.
There are benefits and cons to moving to this schedule. Below is a list of each:
|
Benefits to 4-day a week classes: 1. Spending less on gas coming 2 days a week instead of 3 for M/W/F students
2. Tuesday/Thursday students can take 1 class on Friday to get 5 classes per quarter
3. Free Fridays for lab hours
4. Extra day for Externship possibilities
|
Cons to 4-day a week classes: 1. To graduate in 18-months, you would have to pick up 5thclass on Tuesday/Thursday, Friday Block, Night School, or Online
2. Classes will now be longer on M/W/F
3. Would do away with the 9:15 – 1:10 schedule to be full-time. Would either have to start at 8:00 am or go until 3:10 to be full time on M/W.

Are you planning on graduating in Summer or the Fall Quarter? If so, you need to complete a graduation survey. This quick questionnaire is important to make sure you receive your diploma in a timely manner if you are graduating in Summer. If your last quarter is Fall, this survey will be used to make sure the last classes you need are on the schedule. If you don’t complete this questionnaire, all of your required classes may not be on the schedule.
To pick up a questionnaire, please see someone in the front office.
