EVENING AND WEEKEND college PROGRAM

What is the purpose of the Weekend College Program?
The Weekend College Program serves an integral role in the college’s educational offerings. Individuals who are unable to attend courses during the day may pursue part-time and/or full-time studies on weeknights, Friday evenings, Saturdays and Sundays. When classes are in session during the twelve week semester, the Office of Academic Scheduling (A-113) is open weeknights Monday through Thursday until 10:00pm, Friday until 8:30pm, and on Saturdays and Sundays from 8:30am to 4:30pm. Office hours differ during the module; please consult the Office of Academic Scheduling link under the Current Students link on KCC’s website at www.kbcc.cuny.edu.

Who attends the Evening and Weekend College Program?
There are different populations of students who attend the Weekend College Program, such as adults seeking education for new career or career enhancement, parents planning to return to the work force, senior citizens (New York State residents 60 years of age and over), veterans, and others. Any student who is registered at the college is eligible to take evening and weekend courses.

When are courses given during evenings and weekends?
Evening courses are offered on Monday through Thursday from 6:00pm to 10:00pm. Weekend courses are offered on Friday evenings from 4:00pm to 10:00pm and on Saturdays and Sundays from 8:30am to 5:00pm. Please consult the current Schedule of Classes at http://www.kingsborough.edu/classschedule/index.html for a complete listing of day, evening and weekend courses.

What are the Programs of Study?
Courses in liberal arts, the humanities, business administration, early childhood education, computer information systems, travel and hospitality, and the sciences are available in the evenings and on weekends. At present, evening students can pursue Associate Degrees in Accounting, Business, Computer Information Systems, Office Administration and Technology, and Liberal Arts. A Liberal Arts degree can be earned solely through evening and/or weekend study. Certain curricula are offered only during the Day session. Evening and weekend students who are interested in a particular degree program may begin their studies during the evening and/or weekend and transfer to the Day Program in order to complete the required courses. Evening and weekend students who are contemplating a change in their program should visit the Academic Advisement Center (M-101) and speak to an advisor to learn about the degree programs that are offered by the college. Any inquiries concerning the Weekend College Program, please send email to: weekendcollege@kbcc.cuny.edu.

Where can evening and weekend students receive counseling and other services?
The Academic Advisement Center (M-101) provides evening counseling during select evenings to provide the same advisement and related services that are offered to day students. In addition, the Offices of Student Life (C-123), Financial Aid (U-201), the Bursar (A-205) and the Registrar (A-101) are open during certain evening hours to assist any student. Please check the schedule that is posted by each office.
