Fall classes start Monday, August 20 at all the college’s sites and online, and there is still time to register. Whether preparing to transfer to a four-year university or pursuing a career and technical degree, Spoon River College offers a variety of classes and programs to meet individual needs.

Those planning to attend Spoon River College for the first time must take the COMPASS assessment test or have evidence of official ACT scores before registering for classes. On the Canton and Macomb campuses, the test is offered on a walk-in basis between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m., Monday through Friday. At the Rushville and Havana centers, appointments are encouraged.

The payment deadline for the fall semester is the Aug. 1. Students currently enrolled for the fall must have their tuition paid in full by that date or should be enrolled in the automatic installment payment plan. Those individuals who have not paid or made arrangements by that date will be dropped from classes.

Students who enroll after Aug. 1 must either pay their tuition in full at the time of registration or set up an automatic installment payment agreement.
