Adult Education & Literacy at SCC to Offer Free U.S. Citizenship Classes

Published: 11/16/2009

The course does not give citizenship.  The course will teach students about U.S. citizenship as well as U.S. history and government.  The instructor will answer questions about the citizenship application, help students fill out a practice application, and practice with students for their U.S. citizenship interview.
 
Students who have had a green card or resident card for four years or longer are eligible to register for the course.  If the student’s spouse is a citizen, they can enroll after having a green card or resident card for two years. Students are also required to have intermediate-level English skills.
 
Interested parties are encouraged to register early, as the class size is limited to 15.  If you have questions or need additional information, call 636-922-8411 or visit www.stchas.edu/ael.
