Students in the degree program at SFCC can submit documentation to the Library and Information Services program administrator to determine how much library work experience can be substituted for coursework. This may reduce time spent in class and reduce your total tuition costs as well! Students must be enrolled in the Library and Information Services program at SFCC. All requests must be approved by the program administrator and the SFCC registrar.
