Whether you’re looking to pursue new interests, sharpen your skills, or simply engage with like-minded individuals, the Primetime Learner program provides the perfect opportunity.
Primetime Learners are non-degree seeking students who attend classes tuition free. You must still apply for admission, be accepted and meet the prerequisites for courses you wish to take in order to enroll. Some fees may apply, depending on the courses taken.
As a Primetime Learner, you can pursue your passions and explore new interest and areas of study. Plus, you’ll benefit from smaller class sizes at State Fair Community College, giving you the personalized attention you deserve. Whether you’re returning to school after retirement or learning something completely new, the Primetime Learner program provides the flexibility and resources to help you succeed.
