What is a Credit Course?
At YC and elsewhere, most credit courses are applicable to a degree or certificate. Community members/personal interest students may choose to enroll in credit courses to enrich their skills. Examples of credit classes include:
- Art - painting, ceramics, sculptural welding, etc.
- Music - choral, private music lessons, etc.
- Physical Education - Zumba, Swimming, Weight Training, etc.
Students receive a grade after completing a credit course (A, B, C, D, F or Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory) and the course appears on a college transcript. Courses are offered with defined start/end days and times that align with the college academic calendar. These courses are also subject to the current tuition rate schedule.
