What is it?
Academic Noncredit (ANC) gives community members and current students the opportunity to participate in select college courses without enrolling for credit. Through this program, faculty open their classes to noncredit learners who want to explore a subject, build knowledge, or experience college-level learning in a flexible format.
ANC courses follow the same structure and content as credit classes, but without the requirements of grades, declaration of a major of study, or transcripts.
How does it work?
ANC students join regularly scheduled college classes alongside credit-seeking students and engage in the same lectures, discussions, and course materials.
- No application or admission required
- No grades or college credit awarded
- No Campus Student fees
While ANC students are encouraged to fully participate, expectations may vary slightly by course and instructor.
Who is it for?
- Community members interested in learning something new
- Professionals exploring a new field or area of interest
- Lifelong learners who enjoy academic environments
- Current students who want to explore additional subjects without added pressure
