We've created a "bundle" of courses for new and continuing students in Fall 2021! These bundles include a schedule of courses that will:

• focus on different Interest Areas,
• provide you with a full course load, and
• meet CSU and UC transfer requirements.

Click on the links below to see the schedule of classes you can take this fall at SRC in each interest area:

• Arts, Language and Communication
  • Schedule with English Support course
  • Schedule with math support course
• Information Technology, Business and Economics
• Science and Health
  • Schedule with Bio 102
  • Schedule with Chem 108
• Math and Engineering
• Social Science
• Explorer Schedule

Course schedule bundles for Fall and Spring are designed to provide you:

• English and Math in the first semester or year,
• a minimum of 12 units (which makes you FT3 eligible for free tuition!),
• a reasonable schedule that allows for breaks/lunch and time for tutoring,
• a sampling of classes that introduce you to the various Interest Areas, and
• classes that meet the degree, certificate, GE and/or IGETC requirements.

What the course schedule bundles are not:

• These are NOT Learning Communities - these classes aren’t linked nor do they require a petition to enroll.
• Students don’t have to take all the classes listed in the bundle - these are just suggested classes for new students.
• This is not to replace counseling appointments or individual advising information received from a counselor! This is just a general starting point for new students in their first semester or year.
