What is an open-entry class?
Open-entry classes are self-paced classes, without regular class meetings. You complete the work in the time that best fits your schedule during term. Classes may be added up to three-quarters of the way through a term, so students can get started and complete the classes at various times. You can work in our computer labs, at home, or in a combination of your choice. We have many hours of in-person and online support, so you can get help understanding the course materials.
We have some minimum submission deadlines throughout the session, to help students stay on track. You will need to attend a brief orientation before you get started. We will send out an email before the term begins, with all the information about the class and the orientation schedule below. We have available in-person orientations at both our Watsonville and Aptos computer labs (CTCs) and online orientations, via video conference. If you cannot attend one of the listed times, please let us know, so that we can set up a time that works for you!
