Format

Schedule and format at South Suburban College

• The Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) Program is full-time. There is no mention of part-time, evening, or weekend cohorts within this program.
• Delivery format (online/hybrid/in-person) for nursing-specific courses is not explicitly described on the ADN pages. The program appears to be delivered in traditional formats aligned with clinical and on-campus instruction, but no specifics are stated.
• SSC offers a broader set of 5 “High Five” modes of delivery for its courses campus-wide—including in-person, online, virtual, flex, and blended formats. However, whether nursing courses specifically use any of these flexible delivery modes is not specified.
• The ADN Program start terms are:
• Traditional ADN admits once annually in the Fall semester.
• LPN‑to‑RN Bridge Option admits once annually in the Spring semester.
• Asynchronous vs. synchronous coursework: SSC’s general course schedule includes codes for asynchronous online (e.g., section numbers 301–339, 360–379) and synchronous “virtual” online formats (e.g., 340–359, 380–399) for general instruction. However, it is unclear whether these apply specifically to nursing courses.
