Student Advice

Nicole Lyons
"Make sure you have taken all of your English classes before you start classes so you have a solid reading and writing background. Also, be prepared to work hard because there is a lot of content to cover."


Chelsea Johnson
"The program is flexible and it's easy to fit around your schedule. The teachers I've had have been open about answering questions and providing feedback."


Shana Morrile
"I would advise them to approach their homework/projects in the programs not just as school work and to prepare them with the thought in mind that all prospective employers will be viewing them-should be A+ work. Also, keep all your work! Back it up!"

"It's a great program and because the classes are offered in the evening, it's convenient. All the teachers I've had have been wonderful and willing to help their students."

"Make sure you attend an ABA-approved program like College of the Canyons. Potential employers will require this distinction in the hiring process. COC's Paralegal Department is the perfect program to invest in your legal career."
