Student
Information
Welcome to Southwestern College Student Information Webpage.
SWC offers a number of online or internet-delivered classes in addition
to regular classes that are held on campus. Some of these classes
may be totally online, some might require an initial class meeting
and/or on-campus exams and some may involve a number of, but less-frequent,
campus meetings. The orientation material on these pages are necessary
for your to read.
In
your online class, you and your instructor interact through the
internet.
There is extensive use of e-mail and electronic communications.
Campus computer labs provide assured access for those of you who
do not have home computers. Ask your instructor.
You should be aware that experience has shown that
your actual time commitment may exceed that of a regular on-grounds
class. However, if you are a motivated student with good writing
skills, have access to a computer with a word processor, an internet
connection and browser, have basic skills using all of the above
and work well independently,then online instruction is for you!
Prior
to this process, you must have already registered as a student at
Southwestern College either in person at our admissions office (900
Otay Lakes Road, Chula Vista, CA) or by telephone registration at:
(619) 482-9057.
Please note:
Students that are not in purely online classes, but your instructors
are using Blackboard for some of your class learning:
Classes that may use the internet just to support regular classroom
meetings are listed in the course catalogue section at the Southwestern
College website: www.swc.cc.ca.us
As a first time internet student you are encouraged to participate
in an orientation from this online location. You need to attend
your class at the predetermined start time and at the location noted
in your schedule.
