Can't Find the Class You Want to Take? |
We have a solution for that!
Tamela Adams joined Danville Community College as its new online student coordinator. Adams, a 2021 graduate from DCC’s information technology program, will be responsible for overseeing the College’s participation in the Shared Services Distance Learning (SSDL) program. The SSDL program allows students to enroll in classes offered by other Virginia community colleges through DCC. Students benefit tremendously from taking SSDL classes because they are able to continue progressing toward completion of their degree requirements when certain classes they need are offered at times that conflict with their schedule or when they are unavailable at DCC.
