Community Services

Community Education
CCC has defined Community Education as a process of providing leadership and bringing the community of northwest Kansas and its resources together to improve the quality of life, mainly as it affects the opportunities for each individual to achieve maximum development. It also reflects the desire of CCC to continue being an integral part of the cultural, educational, social, and intellectual life of the community of northwest Kansas.

 

Community Service
The Community Service program provides special educational, cultural, and serviceoriented programs beyond the regular campus activities. These programs and services are designed to serve all age groups. Examples include a variety of special workshops and seminars designed to be responsive to the community's needs.

 

Adult Education
The Adult Education program is for adults who lack basic skills. The program prepares adults to take the General Educational Development (GED) exam, transition successfully into postsecondary education, obtain skills necessary to enter and retain employment and acquire basic technology skills.

 

Classes for High School Students
A cooperative program exists between area high schools and CCC. It allows high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors to take college courses. Classes are organized to be taught in the high school as part of the high school schedule or after regular school hours. The written permission of the high school principal is required for high school students to participate in the program.

Gifted students may complete college credit courses. Written permission from the school principal is required, along with a photocopy of the current Individual Educational Plan (IEP), which recommends that the student complete college credit work. This applies directly to all high school students.

Students wishing to take math and English classes must also submit qualifying ACT, Accuplacer, or equivalent test scores. All scores must be no more than three years old to be valid.

CCC also offers Excel in Career and Technical Education (formally SB155) classes available to high school students in Kansas. Students interested in taking Excel in CTE courses should contact their local coordinator at their high school or the CCC Coordinator of Outreach at 785.460.5498.

Students with a balance due from the previous semester can enroll once the balance is paid in full.

 

Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP)
The RSVP program is open to individuals 55 years of age and older. Through various volunteer stations throughout Northwest Kansas, senior citizens volunteer in an activity or program suiting their interests and abilities while serving community needs.
