Johnston Community College is embracing a new approach to help more students stay on track and reach graduation. This fall, JCC moved many courses to eight-week terms, giving students the opportunity to focus on fewer classes at a time, complete courses faster and have more chances to get started throughout the year.

Read how JCC is helping shape the growing eight-week course movement across North Carolina.

At least 11 North Carolina community colleges have shifted most classes to eight-week terms, aiming to improve student success.
