No Friday or Weekend Classes

Nossi offers morning, afternoon and evening classes with three semesters a year (January, May, and September). If you are interested in evening classes, they can be available Mondays through Thursdays from 6 to 10 pm. Nossi never offers classes on Friday, so we can open the campus for a free day. Get access to free WIFI, computer lab needs, print lab needs, photography studio shoots, and video studio shoots. Plus, if you need a place to hang out for a study group or if you need tutoring help with a class, you have all that available at your fingertips on Fridays. With Friday as an optional day, you can count on a 3-day weekend every weekend.
