Noncredit State-Funded Classes: Courses eligible for support from the state are free to California residents. Some state-funded non-credit courses have optional materials fees, which are noted in the individual course entries. These optional fees are payable in class to the instructor, in most cases. If you do not want supplies you do not need to pay the fee. Materials fees are not refundable. Classes fewer than 15 persons enrolled and IN ATTENDANCE at the first class meeting may be cancelled. Once begun, minimum attendance of 10 must be maintained for the class to continue.
Fee-Based Classes: Classes which are ineligible for State support must be self-supporting through registration fees. Self-supporting classes are subject to enrollment minimums but are not subject to the noncredit attendance policies. Please see Refund Policy.
