LEESBURG - Lake-Sumter Community College has created a special eight-week mini-mester, providing 2005 high school graduates and dual-enrollment students additional opportunities to enroll in summer college courses. Starting May 31 and continuing through July 27, mini-mester classes include: Acting I and II; American Sign Language; College Composition I; College Success Skills; Composition: Argumentation; Composition: Literature; Developmental Arithmetic with Algebra & Study Skills; Directing I; Elementary, Intermediate and Precalculus Algebra; Introduction to Business; Microcomputer Applications; Teambuilding & Communication Skills; Technology for Educators; Trigonometry; and U.S. History to 1877. It is not only a convenient way for recent high school graduates to get a jump on their college career, but also for current college students to pick up some extra credits.

In addition to the eight-week series, other mini-mesters, as well as three regular semesters, are offered through the summer. Semester A Extended, runs May 5 through August 11; Semester A, May 5 through June 23; and Semester B, June 27 through August 15. Classes will be offered on all three LSCC campuses, but curriculum does vary. Pick up a Summer Schedule or view it online at: www.lscc.edu, for classes, dates and locations.

Current students with 45+ credit hours can register online starting March 28, while those with zero to 44 credit hours can enroll stating April 4. For information call 323-3665.
