Winter term at Panola College begins Thursday, Dec. 14 and ends on Friday, Jan. 5, 2018. More than 30 courses are offered during the winter term, allowing students to complete three college semester hours in an intensive three-week time frame. All courses except for a hybrid Natural Gas Compression class, are online via the Canvas learning management system.
"Motivated students excel in our winter term," said Dr. Billy Adams, Vice President of Instruction. "We have had excellent response from university students who are on winter break and want to take a course that will transfer back to their universities. Our academic advisers are happy to discuss this money and time-saving option for university students."
Tuition and fees at Panola College are 40 percent less than public universities and 80 percent less than private universities. Public universities must designate as core complete any student transferring from Panola College with an associate degree.
New students should also complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online at https://fafsa.ed.gov/index.htm. Students should type in the Panola College code of 003600 to ensure that their financial aid information is submitted correctly, according to Denise Welch, Financial Aid director.
