The Lincoln County College Connection (TLC3), a collaboration of four Lincoln County adult education programs, begins the fall 2014 session the last week of September.

Two experienced and caring academic instructors and advisors work with students individually and in group classroom settings to help students locate, prepare for, and enroll in a college program of choice.

Upon completion of the college transitions program (which can vary from three months to a year at an individualized pace), students have applied to one or more colleges, filed for financial aid (grants, scholarships, and loans), visited one or more college campuses, and are academically prepared to take college-level courses (all at no cost).

Students may register for just one or several classes at a time. College Prep Math, English, and College Success classes are scheduled for daytime sessions on Wednesdays and Thursdays, 8:45 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.; or evenings on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 5:30-8:30 p.m. The 12-week session runs from Sept. 23 to Dec. 18. Classes meet in two Damariscotta locations.
