Noncredit Courses
Noncredit courses are not recorded on a student’s transcript and grades are not calculated in a student’s GPA. Students in these courses may receive letter grades or be graded on the basis of Pass/No Pass or satisfactory progress. See course description for more information.
GRADUATION APPLICATION
An application for graduation must be completed and submitted to the Admissions Office prior to receiving a degree or certificate. Students should regularly perform a degree audit through Degree Works (see page 11) to monitor academic progress in reaching educational goals and meeting graduation requirements. In the quarter preceding the quarter in which a student plans to graduate, a detailed review and comparison of completed coursework should be done. This will allow time to make any necessary schedule changes. Students may seek assistance from a counselor/adviser as needed.
Degrees are awarded at the end of all terms.

NONCREDIT COURSES
De Anza offers certain courses on a noncredit basis. Noncredit classes do not count toward a degree or academic certificate, and students do not earn college credit units. However, students can earn a noncredit certificate after completing a series of required classes.
Noncredit courses are intended for students who want to gain general knowledge or expand their knowledge on a particular topic, learn new skills or upgrade existing skills, or prepare for taking credit courses. They can be a starting point for many individuals on a pathway to learning basic skills, preparing to enter the workforce or transitioning to for-credit programs.
