HOW TO REGISTER FOR A NON CREDIT CLASS

1) It's best to pre-register in person at the Admissions office at the Downtown campus (Fourth and Mission) one block south of Powell BART.

2) If Admissions officiers tell you that the class is full or if the class has already begun, come in person to classroom 516 and speak directly with instructor McNeal.

IF CLASS IS FULL

Depending on the size of the class, instructor may be able to give permission for prospective student to sit in available seating without computer and watch instruction.

Instructor will record names of students on a waiting list and call / email them as a seat becomes available. Often seats become available during the first two weeks of class so some patience may be required of students wanting to join the class after the class is full.
