Distance Education: TELECOURSES: Students attend approximately six on-campus class meetings taught by a CCC instructor, view a professionally-produced video series, study course materials and complete assignments.
Community Education Program: Want to take a class at a location near your home? Classes in the community are offered for credit at local high schools in the WCCCSD and for non-credit at senior centers, churches and other local agencies.
Alternative scheduled/short term Classes: Want to get a jump start on the Summer session? Intersession is for you! Want to increase your load or need a class that starts later in the term or ends early? Want more flexible class choices? Then our Alternative schedule is for you! Short-term classes cover the same material as full-term classes, but move at a faster pace. Short-term and Alternative scheduled classes are scheduled throughout the semester.
Fee-Based Classes: Fee-based courses are non-credit and open to everyone, including the community.
PACE Program: Have a busy schedule? Try a Weekend class. Weekends at CCC can help you achieve your goals. PACE stands for Program for Adult College Education. Contra Costa College offers a pre-planned program of study whose goal is to help students complete in five semesters and two summers all the requirements for an Associate in Arts degree with a transferable major in Liberal Studies. In the PACE program, the students progress as a group, in a built-in learning community. Courses are offered in blocks to help students complete a minimum of 60 units of degree-credit coursework, including all the requirements for the major and the general education breadth requirements. PACE offers courses via distance education, in classes one or two nights a week, and on Saturdays. Orientations for the PACE program occur in LA-106 at the dates and times listed to the right.
