This college operates on a 16-week semester cycle. Day classes meet 7:00 am to 1:30pm; evening classes meet 4:30 pm to 11:00pm. Fall classes start in late August; Spring classes start in late January.
To start the program, enroll in the college register for or join the waitlist for AVIM 101G. When you are added to that roster, expect add codes all four "general" courses (AVIM102G, AVIM 101H, & AVIM102H). Those classes must be completed before you can take any other AVIM course; take them all in the same semester (full-time Monday-Thursday). See the recommended course sequences (which class to take in which semester) here: https://sdmiramar.edu/programs/aviation-maintenance-technology.
