Non Credit Background
• Education Code provides for California
community college (CCC) noncredit instruction
for specific adult populations as well as
noncredit options for students who might
combine both credit and noncredit courses
within their educational plan. Both credit and
noncredit instruction are funded through
general fund apportionment.
8
Non Credit Background
•
•
•
Noncredit instruction is funded at two rates
Career Development / College Preparation (CDCP) – Equal to credit apportionment.
To be eligible, the following must be in place:
– Category must be ESL, Adult Basic Education (Elementary Basic Skills), Adult
High School Diploma (Secondary Skills), or Short-Term Vocational/Workforce
Training.
– Courses must be CCCCO-approved and lead to an approved certificate.
– Certificate must consist of at least two courses in a sequence.
Regular Noncredit – Currently approximately $2,700 per FTES. The following are
funded at the regular rate:
– Any courses NOT in a CCCCO-approved certificate, regardless of category.
– Supplemental instruction (tutoring) lab supporting credit students (only 1
approved per college).
– Courses other than the CDCP allowable categories. These include courses for
Older Adults (not in an approved vocational certificate), Parenting Education,
Citizenship, and Adults with Disabilities (not in an approved vocational
certificate).
9
Non Credit Background
• Courses may be scheduled using grant, contract, or
categorical resources, however, these cannot collect
apportionment. For example:
– A business might contract for an ESL class to be
offered for its employees; this class would not need
to be open to the public, and it cannot collect
apportionment for the students’ attendance.
– Basic Skills Initiative categorical funding might fund
an innovative class delivery model; this class section
would not collect apportionment since general fund
monies wouldn’t be used to pay for instruction.

Noncredit Advantage: Career Development
College Preparation (CDCP)
• Noncredit CDCP instruction is a way to equity and
closing the achievement gap.
• Noncredit courses have no enrollment fees which
provide for greater access to educational
opportunities.
• CDCP programs can be offered on an open-entry /
open-exit basis to accommodate working adults.
• CDCP programs can have articulated pathways of
college and career education with the credit
programs of their own colleges and college
districts. .
