SAN MARCOS \u2013 Palomar College is full of opportunities for students this fall, to take classes that are transferable to universities, sharpen skills, explore new subject areas, or move them closer to their career goals.<\/p>\n

Fall semester classes begin Monday, Aug. 21. Enrollment is open through the beginning of the semester. Many classes can be transferred to UC, CSU and private universities.<\/p>\n

A number of sections are offered during the day and evening, especially in core classes, to accommodate students\u2019 work schedules and family needs. Other class formats include Online<\/em>, Fast Track <\/em>and Late Start <\/em>classes. Flexible scheduling options provide alternate start and end dates from the full 16-week semester. Eight-week Fast Track<\/em> classes begin in August and October, and the 12-week session classes start two to four weeks after the beginning of the semester. Late Start<\/em>, self-paced, open-entry\/open-exit and weekend classes provide additional options throughout the semester.<\/p>\n
