Workshops announced for students thinking about starting college winter quarter

Two workshops for persons interested in starting classes during winter quarter 2015 at Big Bend Community College will be held in the BBCC library on Nov. 21 and Dec. 5.

The “Start Next Quarter” workshops will be held from noon to 1:30 p.m. in room 1802 of the library. Winter quarter classes start Jan. 5.

“Some students are not prepared or are unaware of the process to get started,” said Rita Ramirez, BBCC Coordinator of Student Recruitment and Outreach. “The ‘getting started’ workshops help potential students understand the process and prepare them to enroll.”

To register for a workshop, contact Ramirez at 793-2072.

The workshops provide students with information about admissions, financial aid, other funding opportunities, applications, placement testing, new student orientation, and a review of programs of study available at Big Bend.

Before attending the workshop, students should try completing a FAFSA application online for free at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov. BBCC’s school code for that application is 003770.
