Dexter, Missouri - Students returning to classes at Three Rivers College have been granted an extension to the registration deadline, according to college officials. Students who have previously completed the admissions process at Three Rivers may now continue to register for Spring semester classes through Friday, January 17.

The college’s campus and full service centers will be open from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. on the additional days. Those wishing to register at the Sikeston Center must call 573-472-5223 for an appointment. Students must have fully completed the admissions process in the past, including taking an ACT or Compass placement test, to be eligible for the extension.

“We want to give students who have taken classes with us an extra chance to come back and register for a new semester,” said Dr. Wesley Payne, Vice President for Learning at Three Rivers. “Whether they took classes in last fall’s semester, or were Three Rivers students five years ago, those students deserve to be able to continue their education.”
