Coastal Bend College Summer Courses Offer Convenience & Value for Students

Coastal Bend College is offering sections of the core curriculum and workforce courses in summer session I and summer session II that students can register for. Many of these courses are also offered online.

Because some of these courses are part of the core curriculum, students can jump-start their college education before heading off to the university in the fall. In addition to earning college credit hours, students and their families can save hundreds of dollars per 3 credit hour course.

Coastal Bend College is more affordable than other universities in the Coastal Bend area. With average savings of 60-percent, according to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board Public Universities Tuition and Fee Data.

Recent high school graduates and other students who did not attend in the fall or spring semesters may be eligible for financial aid if they qualify, since none of their eligibility would have been used for the 2019-2020 academic year. In order for students to be eligible for summer aid, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the 2019-2020 year has to be submitted by June 30, 2019.

Utilizing financial aid in the summer would have no effect on a recent high school graduate or new/returning student’s award amount for the 2020-2021 academic year if they qualify. If you have questions about your financial aid eligibility or need assistance submitting your FAFSA, please contact the CBC Financial Aid Office at (361) 354-2238.

Students who wish to enroll in either summer session can register Monday-Friday from 8:00 am-6:00 pm with advisors and counselors at all of our campuses. To talk with an advisor about summer registration, please call (361) 354-2266 or toll-free at 1-866-722-2838 ext. 2266.
