Chattanooga State Extends Hours to Accommodate Increased Registration For Fall Semester

Friday, July 30, 2010

Chattanooga State Community College will extend the operating hours of the Student Center, which is located in the center of the college’s main campus at 4501 Amnicola Highway, on Tuesday from 7:30 a.m.-7 p.m. Striving to accommodate increased requests from students for assistance with the admissions and enrollment process, the staff from the college’s Student Services Department will be available to provide one-on-one support to both new and current students.

“The admissions priority deadline is August 13, which is fast approaching,” said Dr. Elaine Swafford, vice president of Student Services. “With enrollment trending upward for the 2010 fall semester, early registration is critical. We encourage new and returning students to take advantage of August 3 to finalize their plans for the fall term.”

Students will be able to access assistance for a variety of services such as applying for admission, completing financial aid forms, and registering for classes. Because the college requires that all students receive academic advising and that first-time college freshman attend an orientation, advising and orientation sessions will also be offered.

An online admission application and guidelines about registering for classes are available at Chattanooga State’s Web site at www.chattanoogastate.edu.

Thoughts On The Mathews Sentencing

It is not by coincidence I haven’t submitted an opinion piece in some time to the Chattanoogan.  The topics I cover are generally vitriolic in regards to local political decisions and their makers regarding public safety and I do not wish to associate my name with more noble subjects such as that of the heroic death and cowardly murder of Chattanooga Police Sergeant Tim Chapin, ...

Thank You, Judge Mattice And Chattanooga

I would like to thank Judge Mattice for handing down a 30.5 year sentence for Kathleen Mathews.  Obviously, no amount of jail time, fines, or lashings can bring back Tim Chapin.   A 30-year sentence will, however, make the world just a little safer.  That's what Sgt. Chapin would have wanted.  He was a protector and sacrificed his life so the rest of ... (click for more)
