Fall Registration For 2022 is Now Open at Prairie State College [07/12/2022]
Registration is open for the fall 2022 semester at Prairie State College (PSC) with various options, including in-person, online, and hybrid classes, with flexible scheduling options and convenient start dates throughout the semester.
Continuing and prospective students seeking a degree or certificate can now enroll in 16-, 14-, 12- and eight-week courses. The 16-week and first eight-week courses begin Aug. 22. Classes for the 14-week session begin Sept. 6. The 12-week courses begin Sept. 16, and the second eight-week session begins Oct. 17. All classes offer the same course material and credit hours. For shorter weeks, class session times are extended.
To enroll at PSC, students must first complete an online application. New students must speak with an advisor to register for the first semester by making an appointment on Qless. Current and returning PSC students can register through WebAdvisor or complete an Online Registration Form.
Classes for the fall semester are offered in one of four ways: online with no meeting pattern, online with a meeting pattern, hybrid, or in-person. All courses are marked to identify how the course will be taught. Classes with no identifier are held in person.
IN - Online courses with no designated meeting time | (Example: ENG 101 IN)
Students learn independently through readings, videos, exams, written work, and online exercises. Although there are no meeting times, and students can access lectures and lessons at their convenience, these classes are not entirely self-paced—students will be required to complete assignments and sit for exams according to given deadlines. Faculty may choose to offer optional supplemental opportunities to support the classroom activities.
MP - Online with a designated meeting pattern | (Example: CHEM 110 MP)
Although entirely online, students attend these classes as they would a traditional course. Connected by webcam and microphone, students and their professors will engage in lectures and class discussions. As with other online classes, coursework will not be self-paced, and deadlines for assignments and exams will apply.
HYB or HY - A blend of online learning and face-to-face sessions | (Example: NURS 100 HYB01) Hybrid courses have learning activities that must be completed online as well as class sessions that require on-campus or other in-person attendance, such as labs, clinicals, presentations, or other activities. If a student is registered for a hybrid class, the in-person class session offered will be on campus or at other locations depending upon the needs of the program. These in-person meetings will only occur during the scheduled in-person class time.
Face-to-face courses are listed with designated meeting times, days, and an assigned room. (Example: ECON 201-01, MW 9:30-10:45, Room 3140.)
All classes are listed on WebAdvisor, along with instructions on how to search for courses.
The college will be open to the community from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday, Wednesdays from 7:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. through August 12. Regular hours will resume on Monday, August 15. Individual departments are listed on the general information page at prairiestate.edu.
