NIC to host dual credit information session tonight
All students and parents who are interested in North Idaho College's dual credit program are encouraged to attend an information session from 6 to 7 tonight in the Edminster Student Union Building Lake Coeur d'Alene Room.
The session will be of particular interest to dual credit students taking classes for the first time at NIC this fall since the information session will cover the enrollment process, obtaining parking permits and student identification, purchasing textbooks and advising as well as other information on college services.
NIC's dual credit program gives high school juniors and seniors the opportunity to enroll in NIC classes for both high school and college credit, giving them a head start on their college career. The classes are offered at half the cost of normal college credit and are accessible to students, with classes offered via the Internet and through interactive video conferencing as well as through on-site instructors.
The information session is free and open to the public.

'Field of Dreams' plays Friday at Cd'A's City Park
COEUR d'ALENE -Time Warner Cable and KXLY 4 HD host the fifth annual Movie in the Park at Coeur d'Alene City Park on Friday evening.
This year's feature movie is the 1989 smash hit "Field of Dreams," starring Kevin Costner. This event has become a North Idaho tradition for families and movie fans of all ages. Attendees will be treated to "Field of Dreams," which was nominated for three Academy Awards, on a large screen in a beautiful outdoor setting for a memorable viewing experience.
"This year's event is so highly anticipated I wouldn't be surprised if we have record attendance; I expect there could be upwards of a thousand people at 2011's Movie in the Park," said Correen Stauffer, area manager for Time Warner Cable. "I can't think of a more family-fun summer evening than to be treated to a wonderful movie, free popcorn, games and other exciting surprises in such a beautiful park setting."
The movie will begin at dusk on Friday. There will be fun activities from 6:30-8:15 p.m.
