ESOL Credit Courses

These courses are eligible for financial aid!

SCCC's ESOL Credit Courses are tailored for higher literacy levels to help our international students smoothly transition into college-level English classes. While these credits contribute to a student's full-time status, they do not satisfy degree requirements. Students in Developmental Studies-level courses are ensured personal attention and frequent interaction with instructors.
