Hancock Encourages Students to Enroll in Fall Classes

JULY 18, 2024-- Allan Hancock College is reminding students that there is still time to register for fall classes, which start on Aug. 19 at the college’s Santa Maria campus and Lompoc Valley Center. 

Hancock offers credit and noncredit classes across a wide range of subjects and areas of study for students seeking degrees, certificates, transfer, job training, or enrichment.      

“Now is the time for students to register for fall classes,” said Hancock Superintendent/President Kevin G. Walthers. “Our faculty and staff are ready to support and help them achieve their educational goals.” 

High school seniors graduating from within the college’s service area can take advantage of the expansion of the Hancock Promise, which now provides two years of tuition and fees free. Financial aid is also available for non-Promise students.   

Students in Lompoc can take advantage of programs that allow them to obtain degrees in business administration, math and science, social and behavioral sciences and psychology exclusively at the college’s Lompoc Valley Center.  

To help new and returning students complete their registration steps, the college is hosting “Bulldog Express” events every Monday and Tuesday through July 30 from 3-6 p.m. at the college’s Santa Maria campus. At these events, students can apply for admission, complete their financial aid applications and student orientation, register for classes and more. Hancock’s Lompoc Valley Center is hosting a Bulldog Express event from 3-6 p.m. on July 30. No appointments needed. 

In addition to credit classes, Hancock Community Education is offering dozens of free noncredit fall classes, including English as a second language, citizenship, workplace preparation, GED classes, basic skills courses, classes for older adults, and more.
