Student Support Services

Counseling and Student Success
see www.scc.losrios.edu/x1137.xml

Sacramento City College Counseling and Student Success Department offers comprehensive professional counseling services for community college students. Academic counseling is available to assist students in clarifying their educational goals. Students and counselors work together to create an educational plan for obtaining a certificate, associate degree, and/or transfer. Career counseling can help students to explore their personal values, aptitudes and interests, and to identify a major that leads to a fulfilling career. SCC counselors provide personal counseling to help students with life issues that may interfere with academic success. Crisis intervention services are available to students who are experiencing acute emotional distress and require immediate attention.

As part of the matriculation process, all first-time college students are encouraged to meet with a counselor soon after being accepted to the college, and to meet with their counselor every semester thereafter to discuss academic and personal progress, and to update plans. Counselors refer students to other services, including many that may be provided in the Counseling and Student Success Department: new student orientation (on-line and in-person), online advising, and special programs for student retention. Counselors also teach Human Career Development courses that are designed to build skills that lead to academic and life success.

Services are available Monday through Thursday 7:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Friday 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and on a limited basis on weekends. The Counseling Center is located on the first floor of Rodda North, Room 147. Call (916) 558-2204 for more information. Counseling services are also available at the SCC Outreach Centers.

Assessment
see wserver.scc.losrios.edu/~matric/assessment

Since reading, writing, and mathematics skills are essential for learning and understanding all subjects, it is helpful for students to know their level of performance in these areas. Assessment in these subjects will show educational strengths and needs and can provide useful information for planning a course of study at Sacramento City College. Assessment is not conducted to keep a student out of college or specific classes.

Your assessment results, along with your high school record, educational and employment experiences, current work schedule, and motivational level, can be used to help plan your classes. Your Sacramento City College counselor can provide interpretation of test results and work with you to prepare a Student Educational Plan. The Assessment Center can provide information about the types of assessment available and its testing schedule.

Distance Education Program
see http://web.scc.losrios.edu/de

Distance Education (DE) offers learning opportunities outside of the classroom, usually from home or a conveniently located off-campus site. DE allows students to earn college credits with fewer on-campus hours.

Our DE courses are designed to fit busy schedules and advance academic goals with a challenging educational experience. SCC is committed to giving our DE students the same individual support, academic standards, and experienced faculty found in our classrooms - plus the freedom to choose the learning mode: Hybrid, interactive television, online, or telecourse.

Hybrid
The perfect start for students whose schedules are tight, but who are not sure distance education is right for them. Hybrid classes typically have at least half of the course taught in the classroom, with the remaining course work completed through the Internet. We offer 24/7 (24-hours a day X 7-days a week) technical assistance to students enrolled in web-bases courses.
Interactive Television
Classes are broadcast live from our television studio/classroom. This option allows students to attend the class on campus or view the class from home through cable television. Courses are also archived to the web for repeated student viewing.
Online Courses
Classes are offered via the Internet, using the Los Rios eLearning system (Blackboard). Online instructors use a variety of teaching approaches and assignments just as they do in face-to-face classes. Some courses require exams to be taken on campus. We offer 24/7 technical assistance to students enrolled in web-bases courses.
To ensure success in online courses, we recommend students take our Skills for Online Student Success course first.
Telecourses
A series of television programs broadcast over local cable television, viewed from home, by video at the LRC or by rental tapes when available. Telecourses require attendance at a limited number of on campus meetings throughout the semester for review and testing purposes.

All of our DE courses are approved by the Sacramento City College Curriculum Committee to ensure a learning experience and level of academic rigor equivalent to our traditional campus-based courses.

For complete information on the Distance Education Program, visit the DE website at http://web.scc.losrios.edu/de.

If you are considering enrolling in a web-based course, take the self-assessment at http://web.scc.losrios.edu/de/for_me for tips and strategies.

Open-Access Computer Labs

A computer lab with PC computers is available in the Instructional Media Center (Learning Resource Center) and provides Internet access as well as basic personal productivity software (word processing, spreadsheet, desktop publishing, etc.).

Learning Communities (Interdisciplinary Studies)
A Learning Community is two or more courses linked together by one, or more than one, of the following: a common theme, shared students, shared content, and/or a team of instructors. It's sometimes called interdisciplinary learning or integrated classes. Students like Learning Communities because they can be a part of a group that learns together. They interact more with their fellow students and the faculty, and they learn to understand how subject matter interrelates. The number of Learning Communities at SCC varies from semester to semester, so look for the Interdisciplanary Studies page in the Schedule of Classes.

Service Learning Program
see http://web.scc.losrios.edu/servicelearning/

Participation in campus and community volunteer projects - as a part of regular course work - serves to make learning more direct and relevant, builds students' leadership and organizational skills, and promotes civic engagement and community building. SCC is incorporating service learning into more and more courses, and is creating campus and community partnerships to enhance student learning. Service Learning projects have included web and brochure design for community agencies, partnerships with social services, school-aged mentoring and transitional housing programs.

Learning Resource Center

The LRC provides extensive collections of books, periodicals, videos, DVDs, films, microforms, software, and electronic databases to support the educational needs of SCC students and classroom instruction. The library catalog and some electronic resources are also available from off-campus as the Web. Library instruction in the research process is offered via individualized assistance, library instruction and credit courses. The Library also offers a Library and Information Technology certificate program that prepares students to work in libraries as paraprofessionals.

In addition, the LRC provides access to electronic classrooms, open access computer labs, ADA computer stations, and laptop computer ports throughout the building.

The Learning Skills and Tutoring program focuses on individual learning needs of students and supports them in becoming effective and successful learners. Students can also take advantage of alternative instructional delivery systems including computer-assisted instruction and distance education.

Motorcycle parking spaces are available throughout the campus in designated spaces. Parking in these spaces requires a permit which can be obtained through the College Business Office. As with any motor vehicle, the motorcycle must be properly registered with the California DMV to operate on the campus.

RT Bus and Light Rail/Student Access Card
Regional Transit has expanded bus and light rail service, making it even easier to take public transportation to Sacramento City College. Students may also park at any of the park-and-ride stations along the line and take light rail directly to the City College station just east of Hughes Stadium. Students approved a Universal Transit Pass fee that allows students to use all public transit bus and light rail systems in Sacramento, Yolo, Folsom, El Dorado, and Elk Grove at a greatly reduced rate. Your Student Access card is your transit pass and it is good seven days a week from August 1 through December 31 and from January 1 through May 31. This is an incredible bargain. To find out how to get your Student Access Card, please go to www.losrios.edu and click on "Student Access Card." Bus and light rail route information is available on the first floor of Rodda North, 321-BUSS (2877), TDD 483-HEAR (4327), www.sacrt.com, and www.yolobus.com.
