Hey, friends! I'm weighing up my post-high school options and serving in the military is one of them. I found out about Coastline Community College and their military programs caught my attention. Can anyone clue me in on the academic calendar for military students at Coastline Community College?
Hello, great to hear you're considering both education and service! At Coastline Community College, military students generally have flexible options to fit their schedules, including multiple start times throughout the year.
Most commonly, the college runs on a term system, which typically includes a Fall term (from late August to December), a Spring term (from January to May), and two shorter Summer terms (from June to August). Within these terms, some classes might be available on an accelerated 8-week schedule.
Military students specifically often enroll in the Military Distance Learning Program, which has a unique structure that even better accommodates service members.
While these structures tend to be consistent, keep in mind, exact start and end dates can vary year to year. With this in mind, you should check out Coastline's current academic calendar on their official website or reach out to their admissions office for the most current information. Take into account that military trainings, deployments, or compulsory service activities might also influence your academic planning, so refer to your service commitment schedule when planning your academic path.
Keep in mind that as a military-associated student, you have a lot of resources at your disposal, ranging from financial aid through the GI bill to support services for veterans and active-duty servicemembers. Use these resources, and don't hesitate to reach out with any other questions!
