It has come to be known as the Christopher Belser House, and also as Presqu’ile , a French word that means peninsula . It may have been designed by Gabriel Manigault, but again, no one is positive.  Archibald Grimke We do know for sure that it was owned (and expanded) by Henry Grimk é , brother of the famous Sarah and Angelina Grimk é , who had three sons by his slave Nancy Weston.

Fall Payment Deadline We are continuing the process started last year in which the College has an established payment deadline, but has changed the consequences of nonpayment.  August 14, 2017 is the payment deadline for fall 2017.   However, please note we will NOT remove students from courses for nonpayment.  Going into this new academic year 2017-18, students with prior balances of up to $200 are permitted to register.  Students with a balance due from prior semesters that is greater than this limit are not allowed any registration activity.  As has been the established process, students with any balance due will not be allowed to receive transcripts, certificates or diplomas.  We will continue to drop students from classes for failure to attend and other reasons.  Students should not rely on being dropped by the college from courses. If they do not plan to attend class or cannot make payment arrangements, they should drop their courses by the end of the course drop/add period in o
