Serving Students in Laurens


The 39,000 square foot facility opened in April 2002 to serve Piedmont students who reside in Laurens County and to provide a home to two other local educational institutions USC-Union and the Laurens County Adult Education.
 
Students have the opportunity to take part in credit or non-credit courses in a traditional classroom setting, via satellite or two-way video. They will also have access to many student services including financial aid, placement testing, career counseling, registration, and library services. Students may also pay fees and buy books at the Center.
