As a single mother, SWCC online always made me feel like I was a part of the campus, even from Washington state. My instructors were very hands-on and responsive. I joined Phi Theta Kappa and received many scholarships. SWCC was key to all of my success and I would recommend this school to anyone.

As an athlete, I was able to go home for winter break, take online classes, and reach my career goals. I liked having the flexibility to do assignments on my own time.

SWCC was a huge help to me as I was able to get in and take some online courses during summer so I could transfer to my next college with no hiccups! The people who worked in admissions were awesome getting me in, and the online courses themselves were great! I had all the materials and was able to work through things as I had the time! Also, the professors were very easy to work with!!

I took a summer online class at SWCC while completing an internship. This saved me money and time as it transferred back to ISU. This opportunity helped me to stay on track for graduation at ISU and still enjoy my summer.
