Scottsdale Community College

What are the popular events and traditions at Scottsdale Community College?

Commencement is SCC's most consequential recurring ceremony, marking students' completion of degrees and certificates. Other named campus events include Excellence Under the Stars and College to the Community.

These events serve different purposes from a class or club meeting: recognition events bring attention to student achievement, while community-facing programming creates opportunities for the college and its neighbors to connect. Dates and formats can change, so the current college calendar is the reliable guide for attendance and participation.

What are the student housing and dining options at Scottsdale Community College?

Scottsdale Community College does not provide college-owned or college-operated student housing. Students who move to the area must arrange their own accommodation; the room-and-board amount in an attendance budget is an estimate of living expenses, not a campus housing price or a housing offer.

Without residence halls, students should not assume that a residential meal plan or dining hall is part of enrollment. Campus food options and hours may vary by term, making it sensible to check what is open during an individual class schedule. Students comparing off-campus rentals should also budget for transportation, utilities and lease terms, which can materially change the cost of attending SCC.
