CLEARLAKE, Calif. – Fall semester classes at Yuba College begin next week, but there’s still time for students to enroll.

Classes at the Clear Lake Campus and other campuses throughout the district begin on Monday, Aug. 13. Across the lake, Mendocino College classes begin the following week, on Monday, Aug. 20.

Yuba College College spokesperson Miriam Root said there are still classes available for students to enroll in but it’s important that they get in as soon as possible so that they can meet with a counselor and take the placement exam.

She said the best place for students to start is at http://clc.yccd.edu/ and click on “apply now,” which will get students started. They also can call 707-995-7900.

The enrollment fee that is set by the state is $46 a unit, Root said.

Three new buildings are under construction on the Clear Lake Campus – located at 15880 Dam Road Extension – and will be ready in time for the fall semester, Root said.

The Measure J-funded projects include the 16,000-square-foot “A” building, which will house the library and students services center.

The 5,000-square-foot “B” building will be home to the campus’ well-respected culinary arts program, complete with dining and instructional areas, a state-of-the-art kitchen and a multipurpose room.

Biology and chemistry lecture rooms and classrooms will be found in the “C” building, also 5,000 square feet, which will be located at the campus’ academic core.

College officials reported that other campus improvements include a new campus entry road that includes a sidewalk to Dam Road Extension; new student and faculty parking areas; a new service road connection to Dam Road Extension; a new courtyard/plaza connecting the “A” and “B” buildings; a new ADA accessible “path of travel” from lower campus to upper campus; a new roof on the welding building; and HVAC improvements to existing buildings.
