College Of The Canyons Announces 2021-2022 School Year Plans

College of the Canyons (COC) has announced its 2021-2022 school year plans as students begin a new semester of learning.

On Wednesday, College of the Canyons in Santa Clarita announced resources and programs set up to help students this school year.

“We are very excited to welcome students back on our campuses,” said Jasmine Ruys, vice president of student services at the college. “With one-third of our classes being offered in person during the upcoming fall semester, we are doing everything we can to help our students get back on track and continue working toward their goals.”

To help eliminate financial barriers, parking is set to be free at the college’s Valencia and Canyon Country campuses.

Students who can provide proof of vaccination are expected to receive a $300 textbook voucher, which will be valid for the 2021-22 school year. 

To receive the voucher, students must upload their vaccination cards on the college’s website during the first week of the fall 2021 semester. If students have already purchased textbooks, a refund can be requested, according to officials.

COVID emergency grants are available to currently enrolled students who need help covering expenses related to the pandemic, such as housing, food, and healthcare, COC officials said. 

The COVID grant application can be found here.

In addition, COC is expected to be hiring student workers for a variety of positions, including job developers, in-class tutors, instructional aides and Zoom facilitators.

COC is set to continue to offer classes in a variety of online hybrid formats to help accommodate the needs of students, especially those who have developed a preference for online learning.

Both campuses are slated to have designated “Zoom Zones,” which are individual workstations for students to attend online classes or use for quiet study.

The college’s schedule of classes includes nearly 2000 sections in a wide range of academic subjects and career education disciplines.
