| Handy Student Handbook is online! |
 The NEW student handbook is now posted on the College Web site: www.wscc.edu/handbook.
So what's new? The handbook!!! In previous years, the handbook has been part of the catalog. This year, the handbook and catalog were separated into two individual publications. One contains academic information about programs and requirements (catalog), the other contains policies, procedures, tools to help you succeed and general information that you might need on a daily basis (handbook), or as the title states--the top 10+ keys to success at Washington State!
The printed version of the Handbook will be delivered in February and is small enough to carry in your backpack--just 7" x 10". HOWEVER, you can get to the information RIGHT NOW! The entire contents of the handbook are posted on the Web site. Go directly to the link above, or you can find the handbook link in the "Current Student" section. |

In January...7:30 p.m. in Graham Auditorium
|
| 49 UP: In 1964, a TV documentary profiled a group of seven-year-olds living in England. Since then, director Michael Apted has returned every seven years to catch up with the show’s subjects and to investigate the adage, "Give me the child until he is 7, and I will give you the man."
Whether viewers are familiar with the series or starting with this seventh installment, they’re sure to be amazed by one of the most fascinating documentary film projects in the history of cinema.
RUGGLES OF RED GAP: A stuffy British butler (Charles Laughton) becomes a minor celebrity in the western town of Red Gap, Washington, after an American couple wins him in a poker game.
Heralded by the New York Times as being "rapturously funny" the year it was released, Ruggles is an all-time classic comedy worth discovering.
