Adult Education/Noncredit
Noncredit instruction includes tuition-free courses in various programs that help students reach their personal, academic, and professional goals. Noncredit courses are zero units and non-degree applicable; however, students can earn Certificates of Completion or Competency. Students do not pay enrollment or other fees for noncredit courses but are responsible for parking and textbooks and/or class material fees, if any are required for the class. Noncredit courses can be repeated and do not count towards financial aid.
