There is still time to register for some of the nearly 1,000 classes available at Allan Hancock College during the fall semester. These include more than 600 classes at the Santa Maria campus, 120 at Lompoc Valley Center and 160 online. Fall classes begin the week of Aug. 22.

Hancock also offers Saturday-only classes at the Vandenberg Air Force Base (VAFB) Center in addition to the regular weekday courses. These Saturday classes include six-week courses in art appreciation (ART 101) and executive leadership (BUS 387) as well as an eight-week course in public speaking (SPCH 101). Classes at the VAFB Center are open to the public.
