Dear Students,
Welcome to Sussex County Community College! Whether you're beginning your college journey, continuing your studies, or returning to gain new skills, we’re excited to have you as part of our vibrant and supportive community.
At Sussex, we are committed to helping you succeed academically, personally, and professionally. Our faculty and staff are here to support you every step of the way, whether you're planning to transfer, enter the workforce, or pursue a personal goal.
We’ve made exciting updates across campus, including renovated science labs, enhanced classroom technology, and improvements to study and collaboration spaces. Plans are also underway for a new Learning Commons and Nursing Simulation Lab to provide more hands-on learning opportunities. We've expanded transfer pathways with partner institutions like Ramapo, Montclair, and Centenary, making it easier than ever to continue your education beyond Sussex.
Campus life continues to grow, offering clubs, honor societies, athletics, events, and new recreational additions, such as our Frisbee Golf Course. There's something for everyone, and we encourage you to get involved.
This Student Handbook is a valuable resource with important information about academic policies, student services, and how to make the most of your time here. Be sure to use it, and don't hesitate to reach out if you need support.
Thank you for choosing Sussex. We’re honored to be part of your journey and look forward to seeing what you’ll achieve.
Warm regards,
Dr. Cory Homer
SCCC President
