St. Charles Community College's
UNIX for Networking class (CPC 180) is an introduction to using
UNIX or Linux in a networking environment. The class includes
an introduction to UNIX/Linux, supporting UNIX/Linux servers,
and UNIX/Linux network administration; and consists of a
combination of lectures, demonstrations, discussions, and
hands-on labs. Training is comprised of one 5-hour class per
week for one semester. Evening classes meet from 5:30-10 p.m. one evening per week. The class is worth 5 credit hours.
Open enrollment for the UNIX for Networking class occurs at the
beginning of each semester (fall, spring) on a first-come,
first-served basis.
This class is highly recommended for anyone wishing to learn
more about the UNIX/Linux operating system, and for those that
need to support a UNIX/Linux server in a network environment.
In addition to books, students are required to purchase an
external USB powered portable hard drive.

to set up a time to meet. You'll have a chance to talk about
your background, experience, goals, take a brief tour, and
prepare to sign-up for classes if the program fits your
educational needs.
Some classes fill up quickly. Students register on a
first-come, first-served basis. It is suggested that you
register as soon as registration opens up each semester. Spring
registration usually begins in late October; fall and summer
registration usually begin in early April.
Sufficient enrollment is required to run a class. Classes meet
once or twice per week. Evening classes usually meet from 5:30
to 10 p.m. Classes are lab-intensive.
Students should plan on five hours per week in class, and
several hours outside of class reviewing the curriculum and
completing any labs not finished within class. |
