Coastline to Develop Online Student Center
Coastline Community College will use an $80,000 state grant to design and start an online student services center.
The center should be able to provide applications, registration and educational planning; access to academic catalogs and schedules; video counseling sessions in real time; academic advisement; college orientation; and virtual campus tours.
Campus officials will target nontraditional Coastline students, such as working adults and advanced-placement high school students. Broadcasts and other information will be in English, Spanish and Vietnamese.
Information will be transmitted via the Internet, cablecasts and videoconferencing.
Officials will design the system this year and build next year. Officials expect student counseling services will increase by 35% with the project. Information: (714) 241-6257.
