This is a news release from Western Wyoming Community College – 

Star Valley Outreach schedule of classes are now available. These easily recognized brochures may be picked up at various businesses throughout Star Valley and in each community. Of course, you may pick one up at the office or if you’d prefer an electronic copy, call us at 886-3834 and we’ll be glad to e-mail it to you.

Over 100 College Credit classes are being taught via the Internet this semester. These courses will not only apply towards Western Wyoming Community College degrees, but may also be transferred to other institutions. Of course, if you’re looking to start your college degree, contact us at 886-3834 and let us help you. In addition, all college credit classes may be audited by individuals who do not desire the credit but want to obtain the information taught in the courses.  Tuition does not change, but completing class assignments and taking tests becomes optional, and no grade appears on the transcript.

Eight high school concurrent classes (high school courses in which the student may receive college credit) are available during the first two trimesters.  Western employees have already started assisting students with registration procedures, and will be returning to the high school during the next couple of weeks. One of the requirements for concurrent registration is for parents to approve their student’s classes.

Those whose child has registered will receive either an e-mail or a text message asking for approval. Unfortunately, the message does not include a subject line, so please be aware of this.

Non-credit classes include: Opaque Watercolor, Digital Photography, Cardio Kickboxing, Sketching in Star Valley, Introduction to Sourdough, Beginning Research, Natural Health for Children, Dog Obedience, Essential Oils, Muscle Testing and EFT, Boiling Water Canning, Stress Management, and Gardening classes.

For those who cannot or do not wish to attend classes, hundreds of Non-Credit Internet classes are available, as well.  The entire listing can be found at www.ed2go.com/wwcc.

Several options are available:
1) Instructor Led Courses.  These six-week courses begin on the second Wednesday of each month, and provide not only personal enrichment opportunities but Teacher Recertification Credit, Nursing CEUs, and vocational classes and certificates, as well.

2) Self-Paced Tutorials.  These classes start anytime at the student’s convenience, but must be completed in 12 weeks.

3) Career Training Programs.  Much more extensive than the other two class options, these programs can be completed between 6 and 18 months, and will help students prepare for employment and national certifications.

Registration for all classes and workshops will be held at the Western Outreach office (247 N. Washington in Afton) September 6, 7, and 8 th , from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. You may choose to mail in your registration.  A form has been provided on the back of the book. Phone-in registration is also available for those using a Visa or MasterCard.

NOTE:  Although registrations for some non-credit classes will be accepted later in the semester, early registration is encouraged.  Tuition must be paid at the time of registration. For more information, call Western @ Star Valley at 886-3834.
