SAN MARCOS (September 9, 2016) – There is still time to start and complete coursework this semester at Palomar College. Fall Late Start classes have various start dates in September, October, November and December.  Fast Track, offered in either eight-week or twelve-week sessions, begin Sept. 20 and Oct. 17. All of these classes end by Dec. 17.

These classes provide a fast and affordable way to earn college credits.  Many students utilize Fast Track classes to complete prerequisites during the fall so they can qualify for enrollment in desired classes in the spring.
