Student Life

Charter College's Student Success Department is an integral part of Student Life. Exact celebratory events may vary between locations and times.

Also, food is provided the first and last week of each Module and at the midpoint of each module.

Environmental sustainability is an integral part of Charter College's future. All campuses are required to comply with the system wide "Green Initiative" which has many sections, including energy effiecient lighting, recycling programs, etc. Also, Charter College's Construction Management Department offers a course in Sustainability as part of the program and with this change will recommend that all Construction students become LEED AP.
