New Location for SMCC Ahwatukee Foothills Center

The SMCC Ahwatukee Foothills Center has moved!

After several years operating out of the Horizon Community Learning Center, we have relocated to the former home of Ottawa University, at 10429 S. 51st Street---just off the I-10/Elliot Road interchange.

We've got 10 remodeled classrooms and a computer lab, as well as our administrative offices. Daytime, evening and Saturday classes will be available---both credit and non-credit.

Stop by and check it out---new classes begin throughout the fall.

Call the SMCC Ahwatukee Foothills Center at 602.243.8393, or visit our website at http://ahwatukee.southmountaincc.edu.

SMCC Parking Update, Fall 2008

Taking classes at the SMCC Main Campus this fall?

If you usually park in the north parking lot---the gravel lot behind the Performing Arts Center and science buildings---we're asking you to find a new spot.

The college is expanding its Physical Plant, and access to these parking lots will be restricted while construction is underway.

Ample, free parking is available on the east and south sides of the campus. Thanks for your consideration!

My SMCC for Fall 2008

Hello SMCCers!

Just wanted to blog a bit about an initiative that we have at SMCC that was started on year ago. It is called "My SMCC." I know you are asking yourself: What is it? How does it work?

My SMCC is a card (or other device) used by faculty to collect up-to-date contact information for students.

It works because faculty then have the ability to contact students who stop showing up to class, miss turning in a paper, etc.

The impact so far as been great! More students are successfully completing their courses.

So students - get your instructors your contact information!

Faculty please collect this information and use it to help your students!

Together we all achieve more!!!
