Adult Learners
Our adult population has discovered that college can be a valuable enrichment experience regardless of one’s age and is also often the most important factor in creating new career opportunities. The faculty and staff at CCC are aware of the unique needs and interests of adult learners, and are enthusiastic in their efforts to meet these needs and interests. The experiences, views and unique perspective of older students positively affect the classroom atmosphere and enhance the college learning experience for everyone. We don’t just want more adult students at Clinton Community College; we want to make a difference in people’s lives. It is for this reason that we offer these opportunities for adults.
Clinton Community College is the place for you if you are interested in:
- Tailoring a college degree to meet your educational and professional needs, while including the courses you have already completed
- Taking a college course without all the hassle of the regular admissions process.
- Each semester a variety of special-interest courses are offered by the Office of Continuing Education. Credit-free courses are developed in response to specific community requests and may take the form of short courses, conferences, institutes, seminars or workshops.
- Credit courses are offered on and off campus and may be applied toward degree or certificate programs.

Online Learning
Online learning provides study online in two different formats. Asynchronous courses are taught entirely on the web, and students can take the course without ever coming to campus. A hybrid course is taught almost completely online but requires three to six on-campus meetings per semester. The course content in either format is identical to the on-campus courses. Some good reasons to take a course on the Web:
- You live a long distance from campus
- You work during the day
- You have children that keep you home
- The course isn’t offered at a time you can take it
- You’re a highly motivated student who wants to try something new

Can you earn college credit for what you already know?
Life Experience Credit
Earn college credit for prior learning experience. CCC recognizes that college learning can be acquired outside the traditional classroom setting. Students can obtain college credit based on knowledge acquired through their prior learning (work/life) by four methods: Direct Conversion, Standardized CLEP Tests, Proficiency Exams or Portfolio Review.
