South Louisiana
Community College (SLCC) was created by Act 1369 of the 1997
legislative session as a “comprehensive, multi-campus, public,
two-year institution of higher education.” The legislation
prescribes for the College both an academic and a vocational
component and stipulates that programs offered by the College be
developed “to assure the delivery of coordinated and articulated
educational services in each parish comprising the primary service
delivery area.” The primary service delivery area includes the
parishes of Acadia, Evangeline, Iberia, Lafayette, St. Landry, St.
Martin, St. Mary, and Vermilion.
Mission
South Louisiana
Community College seeks to cultivate a learning environment in which
participants develop the qualities and skills necessary to engage
actively in the economy, governance, and culture of South Louisiana
and in the global arena. This function is fostered in a climate
that focuses upon intellectual rigor, caring, and respect for the
diverse cultures of the College community.
To fulfill its
mission, South Louisiana Community College provides:
-
General education courses and
associate degree programs that transfer to other two-year
schools and to baccalaureate programs at four-year schools
-
Associate degrees in fields of
study that prepare students for immediate employment
-
A developmental studies program
that strengthens basic skills and prepares students for
collegiate work
-
Specialized career training and
technical skill development that provide for fuller
participation by area
citizens in the work place and the economy
-
Comprehensive support services
that assist students in reaching academic, personal, career, and
employment goals
-
Technical programs which meet
the economic development needs of business and industry
-
A community education program
which incorporates the principles of service and continuing
education for area citizens.
The College’s provision of these
programs and services is supported by an open-admissions policy
which provides access to students from diverse racial, religious,
economic, educational, and cultural backgrounds. Within this open
environment, the College proposes to offer educational opportunities
that will improve the quality of life and meet the lifelong
educational needs of the citizens it is designed to serve.
Community &
Continuing Education
South Louisiana Community College’s
Community and Continuing Education Program provides quality learning
experiences in areas of occupational skill development and training,
personal enrichment, and leisure development.
Individuals are
afforded the opportunity to stay current in new developments in
their present occupations or to further their education for new
careers or areas of interest. Offerings may vary in length from one
session to a full semester, and in most instances are open to anyone
interested without regard to previous educational background and
without formal college admission. These activities may be offered
in a variety of formats ranging from courses, seminars, workshops
and conferences.
The Community
and Continuing Education program is responsible for ensuring that
continuing education activities offering the Continuing Education
Unit (CEU) meet all criteria of the Southern Association of Colleges
and Schools. South Louisiana Community College is accredited by the
Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and
