It's looked liked the holiday season for more than a month with the cold and snowy weather, and the increased campus-wide participation in holiday decorations this year.
Although many people will be away from the campus to spend time with family and friends over the next several weeks, students will be taking online winter session classes and Student Services will be helping new and continuing students prepare for spring semester.
Students can view winter and spring classes at wnc.edu/class-schedule/. Need help with your schedule, phone Counseling Services at 775-445-3267 or email counseling@wnc.edu.
Note that the college is closed on Monday, Dec. 26 and Monday, Jan. 2.
