DSLCC Reports Large Enrollment for Spring 2010 Semester   Registration for the Spring 2010 Semester is underway at Dabney S. Lancaster Community College and early reports indicate that the college will once again be serving a large number of students. New and returning students should contact the college for an appointment to meet with an academic adviser to prepare a class schedule for the session that begins the week of January 11, 2010. Although many classes are filling up, there is still time to register for selected courses. Prospective students who wish to enroll at DSLCC for the first time should follow all steps in the admissions process, including placement testing, completion of an application for admission, and requesting transcripts from high schools or other colleges they have previously attended. Any individual who has taken the SAT or ACT should bring a copy of their scores to determine if they may be exempt from DSLCC placement testing. New and returning students will find a number of programs and services to assist them in achieving success. Free tutoring, career interest inventories, field trips to four-year colleges, group study sessions and special topic workshops are examples of the activities and services available for DSLCC students. Advisors work with students one-on-one to discuss their interests, abilities and goals so that an individualized plan may be developed that best meets their needs and works well with their personal schedule. A new student orientation is set for January 9, 2010, and attendees should arrive by 8:45 am. Whether students are interested in completing one course or an entire certificate or associate degree program, DSLCC can assist in meeting educational and occupational goals.
