Student Center
Did you know there is a student center in the basement of the Heartland (Library) Building? You can find it by going in the south entrance. While you’re still in the entryway, take the door to the right, head downstairs, and then head straight down the hallway to the end. There’s a large room with a pool table, TVs PS4, and comfy chairs.
…and the Library?
Speaking of the Library, did you know that the Heartland Building is where the Library is? Sure, you have to walk across the parking lot to the teal building, but we promise that it’s worth it. It’s a great place to study, with a cozy fireplace, student study rooms, and a computer lab.
We have a lot of program options. Like, a lot.
If you’re taking classes first semester and they don’t seem like your thing, there are a LOT of other options that SCTCC offers. Like Plumbing or Dental Assistant or Auto Body Repair.
