They may, however, be used to obtain a non-credit certificate when offered. For information about noncredit classes access https://www.deanza.edu/noncredit. This online class does not have scheduled meetings. Students can log in anytime to do the required weekly course work. Students must have access to a computer, the internet and an individual email address. We recommend a laptop or desktop computer to successfully complete the course; a tablet or phone may not be adequate for all assignments and tests.
